Product Information

Early in 1858, three men walked across the eastern half of Kansas Territory intent on starting a town. Although the volatile conflict between Free State and proslavery forces still simmered, the bloodshed had abated, and Free State factions had gained the upper hand. People turned their interests to more peaceful pursuits, including town building. Armed with a compass and stovepipe hat instead of a tripod, the three young Scotsmen selected and surveyed a town site along the Smoky Hill River, near the confluence of the Saline River in north-central Kansas. The tiny settlement soon became a way-stop for westbound travelers and a hub of activity for hunters, soldiers, land seekers, and surveyors. Now 150 years later, Salina (pronounced with a long i) still thrives as a center for commercial, cultural, civic, and social activity. Voted an All-America City in 1989, Salina is home to nearly 50,000 people who enjoy midwestern living in the heart of America.

Publication: Salina Journal Article Title: Local women compile photo book covering Salina’s 150 years Author: Gary Demuth Date: 11/17/2008 After receiving her assignment, Judy Lilly put together her "Mission: Impossible" team. It was just before Christmas 2007 when Lilly, the Kansas librarian at the Salina Public Library, 301 W. Elm, was called by Arcadia Publishing, a national publisher of regional history books. A company representative proposed a book idea, should Lilly choose to accept it: a pictorial history book of Salina's first 150 years. It was an idea Lilly had contemplated for a long time. "Since it was Salina's sesquicentennial this year, I thought now was the right time to do it," she said. But Lilly knew she couldn't do it alone. The publishing company requested a book of less than 250 photographs. Adjacent to the library's Campbell Room of Kansas Research (also known as the Kansas Room) sat 12 filing cabinet drawers with tens of thousands of photographs and documents that Lilly had taken years to archive. The last thing Lilly wanted to do was go through all of those drawers alone. "I've worked with these pictures for so long that I wanted unique eyes for this project," Lilly said. So like Jim Phelps in the old "Mission: Impossible" series, Lilly called upon a crack team of experts to help her on her mission. With the help of a library outreach coordinator, former museum registrar and genealogical researcher, Lilly started the book project. The end result was "Salina: 1858-2008," being released today by Arcadia Publishing. The 128-page softcover book, which retails for $21.99, will be available at the library, the Smoky Hill Museum store, 211 W. Iron, Waldenbooks at the Central Mall or directly through the publisher. A companion book of 15 postcards with photos from the book also will be sold for $7.99. Lilly and her research team, also known as the Salina History Book Committee, will sign copies of the book and postcard collection from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 23 in the south lobby of the library. They also will sign books from 2 to 4 p.m. Dec. 14 at the Smoky Hill Museum. When compiling her team, Lilly began with Lori Berezovsky, outreach coordinator at the library. Lilly said she chose Berezovsky because of her organizational and editing skills. "I knew she would follow through with whatever I asked," Lilly said. At first, Berezovsky wasn't sure she was qualified to embark on such a complex project for a town she didn't even grow up in. "I've only lived in Salina 14 years, so I still feel like I'm new to the city," she said. "But I wanted to help in any way I could." Next, Lilly turned to Dorothy Boyle, retired registrar for the Smoky Hill Museum, with whom Lilly had worked on other historical projects for the library and museum. "I have a great interest in the history of Salina, and I've worked a lot with photographs and artifacts for the museum," Boyle said. The last member of the team was Cloie Brevik, a volunteer researcher for the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society, who had what Lilly called "an intuitive sense in hunting down factual support for images." "I love going through pictures, and I've done a lot of research for people who had families here in Salina," Brevik said. The women began going through the thousands of photographs in the files, dividing them into subject categories that included city services (fire, police, medical), clubs and culture, disasters (floods, fires, blizzards), railroads and depots, street scenes, transportation, worship scenes and life on the prairie, among others. From there, they divided photos into time periods, beginning in 1858, the year Salina was founded. "We divided the book into six chapters, each one covering 20 to 30 years," Boyle said. The hardest part of the process, Brevik said, was nar
