WWI Waterfront Passes

This was our Summer '07 project. Tom Hambright did the hard work of scanning and captioning the 577 cards in the collection. I had the easier task of creating the JPEG derivatives, uploading and tagging the images.

Being a gracious gentleman, Tom allowed me to scan the last card. And then, without pausing for a breath, asked what our next project might be.

This is a collection of nearly 600 military passes issued to civilian workers in Key West during WWI. Fields on the passes include name, occupation, nationality, employer. They should be useful for genealogists and historical researchers of all disciplines.

We appreciate your comments, corrections and contributions.
