Historical Photos of the Bell System

The following photos were contributed to this web site by Ross C. Hamilton of Richmond Hill, Ontario - Canada.  These are scans of actual photographs but are scaled down in size for this web site.  The enlarged images are in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format to save space (as opposed to the more common GIF format).  Most browsers are able to allow viewing of PNG files.

If you are a student and would like the original size scan(s) of these photo(s) for printing full-size hard-copies for a display, please write me at:
