However, Geni, you have touched on another matter. If the material cited is unpublished, then we can't use it in Wikipedia. The policy is that if you need to depend on unpublished primary material for an article, have your research published first in an appropriate forum (in your case, a local history journal or monograph), *then* quote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?
What about them? Are they from these archives? If so, are they permitted under GDFL or PD?
