The "Faces of Dover" Committee needs your help and participation! We would like to include you and your family in a photo project in donwtown Dover this summer. This is the first initiative of a larger Dover Oral, Written, Video and Still Photo history project for our community.
Do you have a photograph (or other interesting document) that somehow illustrates you or your family's connection to Dover, past or present, that we may include in a series of photo collages which will be placed on display around Dover?
The "Faces of Dover" Photo Exhibit has two goals:
1.) to stimulate interest and discussion within families about their roots, their ties (contemporary or historical) to Dover, and to uncover interesting events that have happened locally.
2.) to increase foot traffic in the community by encouraging folks to visit the exhibit sites, get some exercise, promote local commerce, and to expose residents and visitors alike to Dover's rich opportunities and sites.
The exhibit will be on view during July--September around the city. Interested folks may pick up a walking guide at the Library (73 Locust St.) or at the new Chamber of Commerce (550 Central Ave.), then stroll around exploring the photos.
If you have a photo or document you'd like to share, pick up a form at the Library and fill it out. We'll be back in contact with you shortly thereafter with instructions on how to submit your photo and documentation. Please act quickly because our deadline for submission is June 1st!
The "Faces of Dover" project is a joint effort of many citizens interested in capturing the Oral History of Dover and is supported by organizations including the Dover Public Library, the Wentworth Home, the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce, Dover Main Street, the Children's
Museum of New Hampshire, Spires Video Services LLC, Creative Memories, and the Dover Adult Learning Center.
