FALL RIVER HISTORICAL SOCIETY We are indebted to the trustees and staff of the Fall River Historical Society for ongoing access to their photograph and document collections. Michael Martins, Dennis Binette, and Jamelle Tamous Lyons have continually amazed us with their incredible reserves of knowledge, their quick humor, and their ready patience. With her experiences as the archivist and the public school outreach arm of the Society, Jamelle Tamous Lyons has been a remarkable addition to our team. We look forward to her continued involvement as a member of the project's Advisory Board.
