Arthur, Once Upon a Time - Local History Images of Arthur, Illinois

The photographs in this collection depict everyday sights of Arthur, Illinois, from the early 1900's to the midle of the century. Many of the photographs in this collection are made available through the generosity of Mr. Noel C. Dicks. Mr. Dicks, a local pharmacist and owner of Dick's Pharmacy from 1960 to 1995, began collecting photographs of pharmacists and physicians who had practiced in Arthur. This collection sparked his interest in the history of the town. Due to the contributions of many local people his collection now consists of thousands of photographs, glass negatives, and other items of local interest. Digitzation of these photographs was made possible by IMLS LSTA grant funding through the Illinois State Library. This collection was aggregated and uploaded to Flickr by the IMLS Digital Collections and Content project.
