The Rochester Images database will include 22,000 historical and contemporary images from Rochester and Monroe County. Images were chosen from the collections of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County Local History Division, the City of Rochester Municipal Archives and City Hall Photo Lab, the Rochester Museum & Science Center, and the Town of Brighton Historian's Office. Photographs and postcards form the foundation of the database which will be expanded to include other collections and materials such as maps, manuscripts, and newspapers.
