In this sea of data, it can be difficult to distinguish one person from another. At this early stage of project development, a few residents do stand out, whether due to the amount of preserved material about them or the uniqueness of their circumstances. Within these pages are lives that passed through the poor farm, whether as brief visits or as decades-long stays at a place that would have been considered home.
