Friends Seek Old Photos

Do you have old photographs of Oxford that have never been seen outside the family? The Friends of Shippen hope you  do! They are hoping to publish a book of Oxford scenes (buildings, streets, industries) from private collections. The Friends are not seeking your originals, however!

They would be very grateful for copies or disks. The museum now has a scanner as well. Please visit on a first or second Sunday afternoon, or call the museum office at (908)-453-4381 if you can help!
