     We're excited to announce that the Hamblen County Archives is working with Arcadia Publishing and its’ coffee table pictorial history book series, "Images of America" . This edition will take readers on a unique visual journey into the Morristown of yesteryear. It will showcase images and other documents over the last 140+ years that helped shape a small settlement at the "bend of Chucky" to the area we love today. We hope through this unique pictorial retrospective, readers will explore some of the county's earliest communities, businesses and people that brought growth to the area.
    We are asking the whole community for their assistance in ensuring the absolute best visual representation of our past and history. We are looking for photos that are a minimum of 50 years old but willing to print newer images depending on content.  Do you have old photos of your relatives? Perhaps you have some images in a dusty scrapbook that show an old family business or your family at play? We are looking for images that help tell another puzzle piece of the history of Morristown, and we plan to go on an all out "shaking the bushes" campaign. This is your opportunity to leave a small footprint in time and help preserve a snapshot of history for future generations.







    
     If your images have anything to do with Morristown, we would love to talk to you. The images could be of your family, cars, buildings, sports, celebrations, studio portraits, funerals, farms, and people working, relaxing or even clowning around! Anything! If it happened in or around Morristown, it's important!
     You are welcomed to send me your photos, CD, or DVD, but please reference the requirements needed for publishing. If you prefer, you can call or e-mail me to set up an appointment to meet. One of our staff could even meet you with a scanner so you are always in possession of your photos – no need to worry about them being returned!

  2. Perhaps someone will have a picture of the sign at the old Petie's Pool that read "Private Swim Club." Translated, no African Americans allowed.

    Or downtown Morristown as it was before those ridiculous overhead sidewalks went up.

    Or the old city cemetery before half the graves were destroyed and the markers trashed? My great-great-grandparents were buried there and their graves and marker have disappeared.

  5. People talk themselves out of exercising so easily, and the
    opposite can be so easy. ' The picture is just as worrying for youngsters - by 2010, it's predicted 22 per cent of girls and
    19 per cent of boys between the ages of two and 15
    will be obese, with girls under 11 at particular risk. Get your heart rate up with
    a quick burst of fast movement.

  7. They do not insert secret or additional advertising in our material.

    For example, we often do some driving trains to encourage the students to speak a few numbers in turn.
    The videos relax, they make people smile and as they
    say, laughter is the best medicine.

  10. Small women are believed to find it more complicated to use fat than larger women as
    they have got a smaller calorie need. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to find that "quick fix" or magic solution that would have allowed me to drop
    the desired pounds and have the perfect body.
    Avoid burnout by mixing up your exercises so that you will stay interested in doing them.

  12. Education is not about memorizing and getting the degrees in hand.

    Yet while viewers will inevitably make comparisons between Diane Sawyer
    and Katie Couric, they have very styles, as Diane Sawyer has more
    of a reputation for a 'harder' journalistic style. The reliable reviews
    on business and forecast about products and services.

  17. There is a growing need to meet the growing demand for
    biotechnology professionals and qualified graduates produced by
    universities in the United States. Maybe it is arrogant to
    want to become a hero, but I find it a noble aspiration.

    Naturally, if you are not a morning person, setting your alarm
    for 5am to go run a few miles will probably fail.

    have to make a start.
