Autorenporträt
Formed in 1946 to serve the Lower Naugatuck Valley, the Derby Historical Society has been collecting historic photographs for nearly six decades. Some of its best historic photographs, many of which have never been published before, have been combined with photographs from other sources in Derby and Ansonia to produce a unique visual record.
