Beyond Brown Paper

Silver Center for the Arts
Opening Reception October 15, 4-6 p.m.

The Brown Company Photographic Collection documents the history of the Brown Company paper mill of Berlin, NH from the late 19th century through the mid-1960s. Much of the collection chronicles the social, cultural, and recreational lives of the workers, their families, and the place of these people in the life of the city of Berlin. The images, which are accessible from a Web site, allow viewers to add written content about the photographs, or to share information about the paper mill by telephone.

See the images on display in the Silver Centerand available with the traveling exhibition.
