This digital collection tells the fabulous story of the Fort Collins area through photographs, artifacts, maps, books, and much more. The project came to fruition via a collaboration between the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery and the Poudre River Public Library District. On the site, visitors can make their way through the Research Collections, which are a great place to start. Here they will find over 100 city business directories from 1902 to 2005, archival photos of historic structures, biographies of prominent citizens, and a timeline of key events in the city's history. The Online Exhibits area contains curious and revealing anecdotes from newspaper articles and oral histories of the city as well as a photographic tour of historic banks scattered throughout town. The site is rounded out by an area designed specifically for students that features quick facts and profiles of the city's ethnic groups.
