The archivist is Catherine Jane Richards. Over 8,000 of these photos are cataloged by name so that we can easily determine if we have a photo you are looking for. Color photocopies of individual photos can be obtained quickly.
Photographic copies are also available, but take much longer.
The collections were organized with grants from the Kansas Humanities Council. The Paper Archives are a major source of information for researchers, genealogists and students. The FCHS archives contain a wealth of biographical files, subject files, and ephemera including open house programs, greeting cards, diplomas, stock certificates, business records, etc.
