Nashua High School North students Lori Zedeck, left, and Elyse Williams, both 16, sort photographs from the Nashua Manufacturing Co. collection at the Nashua Historical Society on Wednesday. The pair grouped the photos to fit Library of Congress headings, which would then be catalogued into the society's computer system. Their efforts were part of the 12th annual United Way Youth Day of Caring. Order this photo
Elyse Williams and Lori Zedeck spent most of Wednesday sifting through black-and-white photos depicting workers at the helm of machinery once used in Nashua�s downtown mills.
But the Nashua High School North juniors made other fascinating discoveries during their volunteer work at the Nashua Historical Society. On top of one pile was a notice that had been posted in December 1941, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It told employees to �forego customary holidays� for the time being, for the good of the company."
