Thursday, September 27, 2018

This marks the final Captured on Film gallery, which has featured Southeast Missourian photographs taken mainly in the 1960s through the 1990s, before the age of digital photography. A single Captured on Film photo will continue to be published on the newspaper's History page each weekend. Comments or questions about these images should be directed to librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com.
