Welcome to Our Scrapbook

Welcome to Our Virtual ScrapbookAs part of the 2009 celebration of Rochester, New York’s 175th anniversary,  the Highland Park Neighborhood Association has created this “Virtual Scrapbook”.   Here you will find our ever growing set of memories, anecdotes, photographs, clippings, vintage memorabilia, oral histories and other materials that collectively serve as a snapshot of the present day sense of our neighborhood. The intent of this  site is to capture not only history but also the day-to-day life of our residents that would otherwise go unrecorded. Residents, visitors and friends are invited to send in any contribution that features a recollection about the neighborhood and the park with which it shares a border.
 Please see this link which explains how you can contribute.

Here are some  other tips to make this site easier to use. 

  • You may use the SCRAPBOOK INDEX drop down box at near right to select a Index Category.  When you do this, you will get a list of pages that were indexed within the category as they were added to the Scrapbook. 
  • Use the SEARCH function at near right to generate a list of Scrapbook Pages that contain a Keyword or Search term of your choice.   (Please note that scanned articles and items may not always show up unless Keywords were assigned.   That is because some of the older items are stored as pictures not as text)
  • The RECENTLY ADDED column at near right displays  titles of the last fifteen pages added to this Scrapbook and clicking on any of those titles will take  you to the individual pages
  • The Latest Additions Link will display the last twenty items that were added – All of these will be shown on the same page with more recent item at top.
  • At far right, the NEIGHBORHOOD LINKS will take you to other pages maintained by the Highland Park Neighborhood Association such as our main site’s home page and our blog.
  • The NOTEWORTHY ARTICLES section contains introductory pages and other important entries, including some overviews and articles taken from our newsletters
  • Under the ARCHIVES section at far right, are links to Scrapbook Pages arranged according to the month and that each was added here.  You may find that the SCRAPBOOK INDEX categories (mentioned above) serves as a more useful index to different topics.

Please enjoy browsing these pages and if you have any questions or comments you may contact us either by using the comment forms here or by emailing us at highlandparkrochester@gmail.com
