We want to thank...
...Dave Sundal, a long-time community resident, and co-president of the Mesa County Historical Society, who researched and wrote the text for the decades. This extraordinary effort included distilling volumes of information into bite-size bits of text for use in the web site. Those wishing additional details about local history are asked to contact the Museum and Historical Society for the �rest of the story.�
...Nita Kroninger, the Museum�s Exhibit and Graphics Designer, who created and produced the opening exhibit at the courthouse, did the high-resolution scanning, and added key input throughout the project.
...Judy Prosser-Armstrong, the Project Director, who is also the Museum�s Curator of Archives, Librarian and Registrar. She praises the efforts not only of the project staff, but of the many community members, local organizations, other museum staff and volunteers who made the project possible. Among these were Kathy Jordan, librarian for The Daily Sentinel newspaper. �Without Kathy Jordan and The Daily Sentinel the project could not have been done,� said Prosser-Armstrong. �Kathy not only found countless images needed to illustrate parts of our history, but checked and re-checked dates and information as we progressed.�

...The site�s imaginative web site designer, Vicki Felmlee, who is a life-long Mesa County resident and president of one of the largest web site development firms in Western Colorado, TCS Marketing Group, Inc. Vicki�s ties and involvement to the community were also of great benefit to the project. Not only was she able to help identify photographs and photographers, she was able to locate sources of additional material.
...Herb Sanders, Precision Visual Communication (PVC), who photographed the artifacts illustrating each decade and who did much of the site work featured as �Special Effects.�
...The Mesa County Clerk�s Office who supplied the digital image of the Grand Junction plat, their 2 millionth recorded document.

...The Pathfinder Regional Library Service System who facilitated the project for the Colorado Digitization Project (CDP), providing staff training, hosting the site on their server.
...Historian Dave Fishell and Pat Gormley, co-president of the Mesa County Historical Society, who contributed many hours of research and provided assistance to the development of the site. We also appreciate the ongoing support of the Mesa County Commissioners and their input.
In addition to appearing on the web site, the images will be tied to an item-level catalog record, which soon will be searchable through Heritage, the Colorado Digitization Project web site. This ground-breaking project, which began in 1999, aims to create more than 50,000 new digital images. These unique and special resources are being supplied by Colorado archives, museums, and historical societies which were awarded grants. Liz Bishoff, CDP project director, Richard Urban, Sue Kreigsman and Judi Hoffman-Bashant, provided training and key project support.
Major funding for Grand Junction History in Pictures has come through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Colorado Library Systems. Locally, funds and in-kind support have come from PVC, James Baughman, the Museum, TCS Marketing Group, Inc., and the Mesa County Historical Society. |
