hi, I'm completely lost here, but I think some of my 1900's scrapbook stuff is of value for Wikipediaians who love history I've been saving photo's to the scanner from the 1800's and early 1900's, and I have a scrapbook full of junk from that time. this looks like a good place to share/donate it. example : article( and I don't know how to attach the link) on Ellwood City of 1908, list among other things, the Hartman Mfg. Co. as having been purchased by the Glen Mfg. Co. in 1902, and states that the Hartman co. began in 1892. I have an original Hartman Catalogue no.13 dated June15,1899, which states on their title page that they have been making the Hartman fence for 11 years. that would date their company to 1888. It's a minor edit, maybe not worth the trouble, but I don't know how to do it, how to reach the person who first posted the article. thats one problem. the other is who can help me in getting inforation posted. early photo's, copies of catalogue's, cool stuff. I have some early photo's of the Panama Canal cut, Kitty Hawk tests flights. WWII historial photo's. It's all from family scapbooks and albums. ancestors on wifes side. ( the Doblers) Dobler Beer, Albany N.Y. anyone researching or needing photo's to suppliment their work. sorry I was so long winded. I get that way ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hughstime (talkcontribs) 21:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
