The Equity has been the Pontiac’s newspaper of record for more than 140 years. Since 1977, we have preserved a massive collection of film negatives—capturing both the moments that made the front page and the thousands of shots that never left the darkroom. By the time we transitioned to digital in 2003, we had amassed 45 binders containing an estimated 120,000 to 150,000 photos.
We’ve begun organizing them and posting them on Facebook. Take a look at what we have digitized so far.
