“HISTORY OF IMMIGRATION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: Photos Then & Now”

Keene Multicultural Center,

In this photo exhibit, black and white photos from the early 1900s are side-by-side with color photos of today’s immigrants to illustrate the long history of immigration in New Hampshire. The historic photos showed immigrants who came to work mostly in the mills and farms. The B&W were prints are courtesy of the Manchester Historic Association. Color photos of recent immigrants were taken between 2012 and 2014 by Becky Field as part of an ongoing project to document the strength, vitality and diversity among our foreign-born neighbors.  For more information on her project, go to www.DifferentRootsNH.com.
