Hi Don:
I quickly went through some of the forum entries for the last year and would suggest a few other threads that might be appropriate for this category. I was surprised to see how many posters have initiated historical threads including; JustSold, GWC, pickles, JG1222, KTO, WeirsBeachBoater, LilacHill and I'm sure there are more. These are possible threads to consider:
All Aboard for a Cruise Around the Lake on the Mailboat U.S. Uncle Sam
Mud Buggies (found in Winter Recreation)
Lake Winnipesaukee Poems
Some Notable Headlines
PT Mailboat
Home Movies of Lake Winnipesaukee (great thread!)
Governor's Island Pictures
Winnipesaukee Camps Remembered
Reminiscing About Restaurants
The Belknap
Who Remembers the Tonimar?
Historic Alton/Iron Works Question
Old Lake Photos
......and there are probably others.

When you mention that this category would be a good place to post pictures it leads to a question I have. I have collections of postcards/photos concerning a particular topic (such as of the Lakeshore Path at the Weirs, the G.A.R. Regimental Buildings at the Weirs, the Adventist Church Camp Meetings in Alton Bay and probably a few others.) but no accompanying narrative. Would it be appropriate to start a thread about one of these topics that had only photos with the hope that someone else could provide us with some background? Or would these groupings of photos be better left to photopost? Curious as to what forum readers think about this.

Thanks! McD
