Cape May County coffee table book in the works

I was recently contacted by Pediment Publishing. They are working with the Press of Atlantic City to put together a coffee-table book on Cape May County. The book is going to be a follow up to their previous collaboration on the book Atlantic County Through Our Eyes

They are going to choose some of the photos from my website to represent Strathmere, and they are looking for more images depicting life throughout Cape May County from the 1800s through today. They are still looking for more images from inland Cape May County and are specifically trying to track down images from Woodbine to the north and Villas in the south.

They will be spending a week in Cape May County (June 14 - 21 scanning images and gathering information, on-site at several museums and libraries. They are currently working with The Press of Atlantic City and several other historical organizations in Cape May County.

So, if you have photos that you think represent life in Cape May County, whether it's historical buildings, locations, events or people of note, from past to present, please contact me at carol@strathmere.net
