Mark your calendars for Saturday, Aug. 16, as the Greentown Historical Society will host a special presentation by Joan Hostetler of The Indiana Album, featuring the history of glass negatives and the extraordinary Gibson Photograph Collection.

The event will take place at 2 p.m. at the Greentown History Center, 103 E. Main St., Greentown.

Free photo scanning also will be offered at the History Center from noon to 4:00m. The public is invited to bring their historical Indiana photos -- depicting business, buildings, schools, people, or events -- for scanning and possible inclusion in the Indiana Album’s digital archive. Items will be scanned and returned while you wait.

The full archive of Gibson Greentown glass negatives can be viewed at https://indianaalbum.pastperfectonline.com/bycreator?keyword=Gibson%2C%20Ira%20Elsworth%2C%201868-1944
