What were the streets like? What about some of the now-extinct houses and businesses? What about the people?Well, the Pioneer Museum — in conjunction with the Bogalusa YWCA — has embarked on a what could be an ambitious task.
As part of its "Photography for Kids" cooperative with the YWCA, the museum is seeking to collect as many "old" photos of Bogalusa as possible.
"We are looking for anything of an historic nature that someone would be willing to share with us," explained Roosevelt Ludd, publicity coordinator for the Museums of Cassidy Park.
The objective of the project is to have these photos available to display when Bogalusa celebrates her Centennial in 2014.
Ludd said all photos received will be documented and kept in storage at the museum to be used as needed. Persons should attach their contact information, as well as any information regarding the photo, to the back.
Persons interested in the project should contact the YWCA at (985) 732-9083 or the Museums of Cassidy Park at (985) 750-5213 or (985) 335-4340.
Additionally, the museum offers a "Photography Camp" program, where instruction is given in the basic techniques of photography. For more information on the next class, which is held at the YWCA, call Bobbye Crawford at 735-8751.
