Q. Where can I find digitized Cushing photographs?
You can find select archival images owned by Cushing Memorial Library and Archives by searching in Flickr. These images were digitized in 2005 as the Cushing Historical Images Collection.
To search these images, make sure you select the icon of a magnifying glass halfway down the page and to the right.
This will ensure that you are only searching within Cushing’s Flickr, rather than all of Flickr. This will bring up a blue block within the larger search box at the top of the page that reads “Cushing Memorial… | Photos.” Make sure this blue box shows up before you do any searching for images; otherwise, you will be searching all of Flickr.
You may also browse images by viewing albums on various subjects.
Viewing:
Click on the item you want to view.
The image you selected will appear on the page with metadata below.
Saving:
Save the image.
If you would like to have a copy of the digital file, you may select the download button (just under the image on the right).
Requesting:
