However, Geni, you have touched on another matter. If

cited is unpublished, then we can't use it in Wikipedia. The policy is
that if you need to depend on unpublished primary material for an
article, have your research published first in an appropriate forum
(in your case, a local history journal or monograph), *then* quote
from there. As burdensome as this may seem, having your research
published elsewhere first helps Wikipedia to offer the assurance
that at least one set of expert eyes has examined the material we
are using.
What about pictures?
