New Book about Pittsford, New York
by Vicki Profitt

I'm pleased to announce that Pittsford Town and Village Historian Audrey Johnson and I are working on an exciting new collaboration. Pittsford, will be published by Arcadia Publishing Company in 2013 as part of their "Images of America" series.

However, we need your assistance! Do you have vintage photographs pertaining to Pittsford's people, places, businesses and buildings? Would you like to help preserve Pittsford's fascinating history? We are looking for pre-1950s photographs showing what life was like in the early days of Pittsford, New York. The importance of family collections cannot be overemphasized. Vintage photographs become increasingly fragile and by scanning and reproducing them in a book, they become available for all to see.

If you have photos to share, please contact Vicki Profitt at vprofitt@rochester.rr.com by June 30, 2012. We can make arrangements to scan in your photos at your convenience.

Arcadia Publishing has printed over 7,500 books about small towns and cities throughout the United States. Additional information about Arcadia Publishing can be found on their website, www.arcadiapublishing.com.

If any of you do send or email photos, would you include Ruxpin sent you. Vicki has assisted me with many photos of headstones of Civil War soldiers from the 13th NY Inf. and 22nd NY Cav., both recruited in and around Rochester and I hope Arfcom can help me assist her. Thanks New York!
