Chester, Images of America Index
A lifetime Chester resident, Joan S. Case published two books on Chester, Chester, Then & Now, and Chester, Images of America. Because these books did not contain indexes, volunteers and staff of the Chester Library’s Local History Department created indexes to help researchers locate topics included in these handy historical photo books. To learn more, please contact the Local History Department at LocalHistory@Chesterlib.org.
