Lizzie Borden Society Forum

Hi!

After five years of studying this case, it dawned on me a couple years back that I had not viewed the entire Arthur Phillips photo collection. The Historical Society possesses the photos, but the FRHS has been closed for construction for a couple years and have not yet set a firm reopen date.

I have seen the photos that were published in the newspapers back in the 1930's, but at least half of the photos listed on the FRHS website were not included in the newspaper articles. Some pics made their way into books, but they seem to be the same photos that the newspaper published.

It is my understanding that years ago, the Fall River Historical Society sold copies of the photos at the gift shop. If anyone bought or has copies of the photos, I would really appreciate it if you would send me a PM. My request is driven by my personal interest in the case.

Thanks in advance!

Although the FRHS is physically remodeling the building, I called a few weeks ago to try to find out when I could plan my first visit (no solid date was given) and I was able to buy a copy of Parallel Lives over the phone. I would try calling the main number or email them. I am slowly trying to preserve some items digitally in case the forum ever goes away.
