For those of you interested in viewing photographs of downtown Providence from a by-gone era, check out the new online digital collection on the Special and Archival Collections webpage:

The Sentor John O. Pastore Photograph Album

Pastore, who was Governor and then United States Senator from 1945 through 1976, donated his papers to Providence College at the end of his political career. Included among the donated items was a photograph album of late 19th and early 20th century images. It is this album which is now available for viewing here.
