A2: Photography

In his Random Camera blog, Mark O’Brien reviews the book “Historic Photos of Ann Arbor,” with captions by Alice Goff and Megan Cooney of UM’s Bentley Historical Library: “Anyone with an interest in the history of Ann Arbor will like this book, and the breadth of the photographs really shows the history of the town. Many readers will appreciate the architecture that’s long gone (and some still standing), as well as seeing how much has changed over the years. Today, we talk about buying ‘local,’ but as you will see in the photographs, local manufacturing and agriculture was a given state of affairs before 1940.” [Source]
