Description
An account of the resource
Procession of Civil War veterans marching north on South Pleasant Street. They are preceded by a band and marshall and followed by a group of women or children and a group of carriages pulled by horses. This is probably a Memorial Day event which followed a similar program for many years: speeches in the schools, speeches at various locations in area towns where the local Civil War veterans gathered en masse, a luncheon, and finally, a gathering of the veterans on the Amherst Common followed by a procession to the West Cemetery where there were more exercises. This photograph may have been taken in 1911, the 50-year anniversary of the start of the Civil War.

Edgar Scott Postcard Collection
Description
An account of the resource
Edgar Scott (1857-1940) was a photographer and printer in the Amherst and Northampton areas. He was born on Martha’s Vineyard and, as an Amherst resident, worked in a local hat factory. He took up photography in retirement and was an originator of the picture postcard. He specialized in photographic views of architecture and social events around the Amherst area around the turn of the century.
The bulk of the images are from about 1897 to approximately 1924. Many of his postcards have color applied to them. Beyond the images digitized here, the collection at the Scott Collection at the Jones library includes 157 5 x 7 in. glass plate negatives; 44 5x7 in. nitrate negatives; over 200 prints; c.350 picture postcards (no negatives for postcards).
