Forward

In anticipation of the Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of The Village of Paisley as an incorporated municipality a Centennial Committee was formed to organize the events of the Centennial Year, 1974.

One of the planned projects was an album to record as many events of the past and present as could be reasonably be assembled and published in book form. The result was a remarkable publication entitled “An Historic Album of Paisley”.

The Album was quickly sold out and has been out of print for over 40 years.

To make this historical record available to as many people as possible it was decided to scan the contents and make it accessible on the internet.

Although the format was changed to accommodate the computer screen the content have not been changed. The album was printed in black and white but some of the original pictures were old postcards from a collection accumulated by Stien Vanderplas, many of these  have been reproduced here in colour.

Since space is not restricted we have added more photographs and material relevant to the album.
