This unique visual history features over 200 vintage images, many previously unpublished, from the rich collections housed at the University of New Hampshire’s Special Collections and Archives and the Durham Historic Association Museum. With Durham: A Century in
Photographs, we follow the town from the 1840s to the eve of World War II; from its roots in a region dependent on farming, forest resources, and the surrounding rivers and bays,
to the era of its transformation into a college town which strove to retain its rural charm.
For all who have lived and grown up in Durham, and for newcomers, students, and friends searching for connections to the quiet past amidst these fast-moving times, this book provides an avenue to reminiscence and revelation.
