The Online Hiker Photo Archive Is Being Updated And Improved!!

2/25/2022

At long last, we are updating the site https://athikerpictures.org/ For many years that site has only had photos through 2008. Now, we are updating the site to include the more recent photos taken at Harpers Ferry. Please be patient; this is an all volunteer effort and it will take us awhile to finish the project.

We are also improving the options to search for hikers and photos on the site. Now there is a single search box for you to use. You can put any and all information you have on the hiker, such as name, trail name, year hiked, etc. For example, put "Peele, July 15, 1987" into the search box. The person on the left might be familiar to you, but with a somewhat different name.

We know that some of the data on hiker names, trail names, etc. is incomplete, and possibly inaccurate in some cases. You can do us a favor. Search for your photo or those of your friends, family members, etc. If you find incomplete information, errors, etc., let us know and give us the correct info. via an email to [email protected]

The great job of updating the hiker photo site is mostly due to one volunteer, Scott Yoder. Learn more about Scott HERE.

Spotlight On Museum Volunteer Scott Yoder

2/14/2022

Scott Yoder, software engineer and Museum volunteer

The Museum could not exist without its volunteers. Some of us have unique skillsets that we bring to the Museum we all love. One of the best examples is Scott Yoder. Scott, a software engineer, lives in Washington, DC with his wife and two daughters.

Back in 2010, Museum volunteers led by Laurie Potteiger of ATC and Terry Harley Wilson digitized the Polaroid pictures taken of A.T. hikers who passed through Harpers Ferry, WV, so that they could be posted on a website, athikerpictures.org and made available to visitors on a computer at the Museum. Museum volunteer Jeff Schmidt helped to develop the website and post the photos. That effort covered the photos taken between 1979 and mid-2008, when ATC replaced the Polaroid camera with a modern digital model.

In 2021 we posted on our website and social media that we needed someone with tech skills to update the site and add the photos taken since 2008. These posts were picked up by other hiking sites. Scott Yoder stepped forward and said he might be able to help. Did he ever. He helped us to migrate the site to new, more functional platform. He upgraded the software. Now, under Scott's direction, we are uploading the newer digital photos. Check out the updated athikerpictures.org to see Scott's handiwork.

Scott tells us he started section hiking in 2008 when a childhood friend of his asked if he wanted to join him for a 3-day hike on the A.T. in Shenandoah National Park. He and Scott had desk jobs (Scott's buddy was a lawyer) so they were looking to escape the daily grinds of their jobs and get outside. Scott says "In the 14 years since then I've hiked about 650 miles of the trail, from Pearisburg, VA to the Delaware Water Gap, mostly over long weekends several times a year. As my kids get older, I'm hoping to be able to find some larger blocks of time in order to complete larger sections. I don't know whether I'll ever complete the trail, but I have discovered that the journey is its own reward."

Museum volunteers come armed with all sorts of skills. We can use docents to keep the Museum open, women and men with construction skills, people who can paint, and folks with many other abilities. We're sure you have skills that we can use. Email our manager, Julie Queen, at [email protected] if you'd like to help.
