Anyone know a strategy for tracking down historic local photos? I am looking for images of specific residences and parts of town. Namely, my house in Victorian Village and neighborhood establishments. Thanks for your suggestions!

There is also the old sanborn maps. I'm looking for a link now. If you can access ohiolink, they are all on there. Send me a PM with your address if you can and I'll post the JPeg map of the area.

Sanborn maps are linked here:

You'll be asked for a library card for access though. Any card from a public or university library in Ohio should work (or an academic ID in the case of k-12)
