About Rochester Images The Rochester Images database will include 22,000 historical and contemporary images from Rochester and Monroe County. Images were chosen from the collections of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County Local History Division, the City of Rochester Municipal Archives and City Hall Photo Lab, the Rochester Museum & Science Center, the Town of Brighton Historian's Office, the Town of Perinton Historian's Office, the Village of East Rochester Historian's Office and the Village of Hilton Historian's Office. Photographs and postcards form the foundation of the database which will be expanded to include other collections and materials such as maps, manuscripts, and newspapers. The Rochester Images database can be searched through LIBRAWeb, and the screen images may be printed for personal, educational, or research use. Check each partner's summary page for additional restrictions and credit line requirements.
Funding: Rochester Images was made possible in part by funds from a National Leadership Grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), by Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services and by the New York State Archives and Records Administration (SARA). The goal of this project is to share resources electronically and to increase access to images about Rochester for educational and research use. Design and Scanning Vendors: The initial project design was by Information Access Institute. Images were scanned by Museum Photographics, Applied Graphics Technologies as well as in house.
