(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from History of the Town of Rye, New Hampshire: From Its Discovery and Settlement to December 31, 1903 Although Rye was not set off from Portsmouth and New Castle as a separate parish or township, by the provincial legislature until 1726, and indeed was not wholly separated from New Castle, politically, until after the Revolutionary war, yet it is proper in writing its history to commence with the earliest history of the state, for the first building erected by white men within the boundaries of what is now the state of New Hampshire was put up, and the first soil of which there is authentic record that it was trodden by white men is now within the boundaries of this town; and it is not certain that one of the earliest exploring vessels, long before any settlement was made on the shores of the Piscataqua, did not anchor for a time in Rye harbor.

Historic Burial Grounds of the New Hampshire Seacoast, a photographic study of Colonial Era-burial grounds, uncovers the fascinating history of the area from the 1680s to 1810. These early cemeteries are a direct link to our past, and yet very little has been done to preserve their history through photographs. By understanding how, why, and by whom these gravestones were made, the symbolism they portray can be understood, and we will gain a clearer understanding of the ways in which our ancestors lived and died. The burial grounds and the gravestones within them have often been called open air museums. They contain some of the oldest works of art found in the area; some gravestones are more than 300 years old. Through the authors collection of photographs, one can see the entire range of images present in the areas old burial grounds, including grinning skulls and crossbones, heavenly cherubs, and epitaphs that tell magnificent tales. This collection is a must for anyone interested in local history, genealogy, or colonial-era art.
