NAMESAKE OF THE CRAIG MOORE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH LIBRARY
The Craig Moore Research Library was launched on December 11th, 2024 as a directive from the Historical Society to make information more readily available to the public, for private or personal research. This research library contains as of December 11th, 2024 there have been 1,400 historic images of the Eagle River area from approx. 1880 - 2010. A considerable number of these images come from photographs taken by residents, tourists, and local photographers who have been documenting northern Wisconsin's various industries, lifestyles, demographics and natural beauty for over 140 years.
More importantly, almost all of them have been collected and interpreted by Mr. Moore over the course of 25+ years, a truly visionary endeavor undertaken by him, especially in an era where such philosophy was unheard of. His foresight will serve not only the organization for years to come, but this service courtesy of Recollection Wisconsin, will serve generations to come. Recollection Wisconsin has been generous enough to partner with the E.R.H.S. in means of providing the technological expertise as well as the means to host such a powerful research tool.
