The News & Record has two main resources for old photos: A closet full of negatives and filing cabinets that hold mostly black-and-white prints. They are a gold mine for the historical, comical and just plain unusual moments in Greensboro’s history.
Each weekday in August, I’ll share a snap from the vault. There’s no rhyme or reason to the selections — they’re just photos that caught my eye. If you know more about what’s pictured, please share the details in the comments or e-mail me at michael.grossman@news-record.com.

The good news for us News & Record employees: Inmates do love to read the local newspaper. Here's an October 1970 photo from inside the Guilford County jail. (Photo by Larry Tucker)
