Share Your Photos & Family Stories

The history of Northern Cambria lives in the photographs and memories of its people. We want to preserve both your family photos and the stories behind them. Whether you have old photographs tucked away in albums or boxes, or memories about your family's connection to the community, we'd love to hear from you.

We're particularly interested in:

• Historic photos of streets, buildings, businesses, churches, schools, and coal mining operations
• Family photos showing daily life, events, and gatherings in Northern Cambria
• Stories about businesses your family owned or worked at
• Memories of growing up in Spangler, Barnesboro, or surrounding towns
• Recollections of local traditions, events, and how the area has changed over the decades
• Family connections to the coal mining industry

Don't worry about the condition of your photos—we can work with them in any state. We'll carefully scan and return your originals, or accept digital copies if you prefer. Your personal experiences and recollections help paint a complete picture of our community's past and bring our history to life.
