\"02-03-flickr\"<\/a>An ongoing photo project can now be accessed online.<\/p>\n

As the manager of the Peoples Temple Gallery<\/a> on Flickr, I have added over 1300 photographs of many members in a variety of venues of Peoples Temple, with thousands more to add to the collection from a number of different sources.<\/p>\n

The Peoples Temple Gallery<\/a> presents the photos en masse, but they have been also been organized into sets, which you can access through this link<\/a> or though the \u201cSets\u201d button at the top of the main gallery page. Clicking on the set title will display the photos inside the set. Some of the Set titles are \u201cIndiana,\u201d \u201cRedwood Valley,\u201d and also \u201cJonestown 1974-1976,\u201d \u201cJonestown 1977,\u201d and \u201cJonestown 1978.\u201d I have also created separate sets for the Jonestown School<\/a>, the Medical Office<\/a>, the Cottage Industries<\/a>, and the Day of November 18, 1978<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition, if you are looking for specific people who were involved in Peoples Temple, you can search by name by using the \u201cSearch\u201d function in the upper right corner of the Gallery<\/a> page. The identification process is an ongoing one, and we invite you to return in the future if you can\u2019t find someone you\u2019re looking for on your first visit here.<\/p>\n

And because it is an ongoing effort, we urge you to join us. If you can identify someone who is unnamed \u2013 whether a member of your family, or someone else you know \u2013 please contact this website<\/a>. Just as with our efforts to identify photos at the California Historical Society, the identification of these photos and making them available online fills a void.<\/p>\n

It is amazing to me that there were so many photos taken in so many different locations, and more are coming to our attention all the time. We are grateful that the California Historical Society has begun to put its photo archive online, and we are hopeful that the FOIA lawsuit pursued by this website will result in even more than have been released to date. In addition, we know that relatives have held on to some of the photos, the media still has some unreleased photos, and former Peoples Temple members have more photos. As people look through old papers and files, these photos are surfacing, and people are making donations of their cherished collections for safekeeping.<\/p>\n

I am delighted to be adding these photos to an online program. I love any corrections, and especially identification of the photos I can\u2019t place, so please help me!<\/p>\n
