Tribute to Springfield Digital Museum - Year by Year Digital Archive Requests
The goal of this website is to preserve and share the stories of the Railroad Hobby Show and railroading at the Eastern States Exposition - creating a sort of digital archive / museum for those who are interested in the event.
In order to complete a digital "museum," I am actively in search of any historical artifacts from the history of the Railroad Hobby Show and the railroad related activities at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA. This includes a variety of items such as:
- Railroad Hobby Show Flyers
- Show Floor Plans / Maps
- Trainmania! Promotional Videos
- Exhibitor and Vendor Photos
- Grant Listings
- Clinic Listings
- Youtube and Vimeo Video Links
- Blog posts
- Newsletter, Newspaper, or Magazine Articles
- The Eastern States Exposition Programs (especially from the 1910s through the 1970s)
- Information about equipment displayed on spur
- Information about streetcar / trolley service to the fair on Memorial Avenue
- Information about the branch from the West Springfield yard to the spur
- Show Memorbilia
If you have any of these items in digital or physical form which you would be willing to share with me, I'd like to hear from you. Send me a message through the Facebook page to let me know what you have and we'll discuss the best way to connect. In addition, if you are searching through the website and spot an error, feel free to get in touch through the Facebook page so that it can be corrected.
