Time For Our Annual SusanvilleStuff Old Photograph Drive!

If you are a fan of local history and read our daily SusanvilleStuff ‘Day in History’ you get to see a lot of pictures of local events, landmarks and people taken over the last 150 years – but we always need more! We are always on the lookout for neat photos that may be laying in a trunk or drawer somewhere gathering dust.

What are we looking for?

Our Day in History stories pair newspaper articles with photos that we find to represent the topic. Some come from the excellent Eastman Collection at UC Davis, others come from the California State library, are captured from E-Bay, come from our family albums, private donors or from the Lassen Historical Society.

We are always looking for event photos – parades, fairs, graduations – any memorable moment that is identifiable as being in Lassen County is a welcome addition to our collection.

Most of our sources for photos are pre-1960 so we are always on the hunt for images from 1960 to the present.

If you send us historic photos we will be glad to give you credit in the caption of the story.

Big collections, little collections, even single photos that show a little bit of our Susanville way of life over the years will be appreciated and added to our SusanvilleStuff archives.

You can email any historic Susanville picture you would like to contribute to [email protected] and make sure you let us know in the email who should get the photo credit.

Photos should be in either .jpg or .png format. If you have a large collection or need help scanning just let us know.

Thanks everybody! -Jeremy
