Berlin’s paper past

From the Brown Company Photographic Collection at the Museum of the White Mountains, at Plymouth (N.H.) State University, about the once big paper industry centered in Berlin, N.H., in a region with forests providing the mills with raw material.

The museum explains:

The Brown Company Photographic Collection documents the history of the company’s paper mill from the late 19th Century through the mid-1960s.

Much of the collection chronicles the social, cultural, and recreational lives of the workers, their families, and the place of these people in the life of Berlin. The images, which are accessible from the Web site, let viewers add written content about the photographs, or to share information about the paper mill by telephone.
