Words and Pictures - Beyond Brown Paper

By Sean Hurley on Friday, September 12, 2008.

Since the pulp mill in Berlin closed several years ago, residents there have been trying to figure out what’s next for the City that Trees Built.

But Plymouth State University is working on a project that spotlights Berlin’s past.

At the turn of the last century, the Brown Company, which owned the mills hired photographers to document life in and around the city.

The PSU Project is making those thousands of photographs available online and asking for help in telling the pictures stories.
