Boxwell: A Pictorial History

If you haven’t ordered a copy of Boxwell: A Pictorial History, here’s an enticement.  Here you will see two samples from the book. The book is broken into decades and traces the events of Boxwell in that ten-year stretch.  The first sample shows the opening of a decade section with an introductory text and a large photo that captures something important about the period.  The second sample is two pages from the 1980s, showing the end of a Stahlman photo series and a collection of Parnell photos.  Notice there is a minimal amount of text on these pages.

You know you are intrigued now!!

VirtualBoxwell: 25 Years

The Big Announcement

Since the first version of the website went live in 2001, VirtualBoxwell has been the place to go for history on Boxwell and even the Reservation.  Over the years, this site has been keeping staff connected even before “staff alumni” was a national push, sharing stories and photos and planning reunions.  We’ve shared losses and we’ve shared successes.  We’ve shared more little bits and pieces of Boxwell history than people probably wanted to know. And we’ve been doing it for 25 years!

To celebrate this milestone, we are proud to announce Boxwell: A Pictorial History.  This is a coffee table book full of the very best photos in the VirtualBoxwell Archives, many of which have never been published publicly before.  Organized by decades, A Pictorial History walks through the history of Boxwell from the Linton camp in 1921 all the way up the construction of the Aubrey Harwell Leadership Center in 2025.  If you want something light on history, but heavy on photos, something you can lay out in your living room when guests come over, this is for you.

Boxwell: A Pictorial History comes in five formats.  The “full” version covers the entire story, 1921-2026.  Running almost 200 pages, it comes in both hardback, paperback, and ebook.  Then, there are two smaller paperback editions, each approximately 100 pages in length. One covers just 1921-1979 and the other 1980-2026.  All the books utilize a print-on-demand service known as Lulu.com.  Thus, pricing is based in large part on the printing costs of this service.  You’ll follow the link below, choose your edition, and place your order.  Lulu will print the order and ship it to you, arriving in 2-3 weeks (hopefully less!).

It has been a pleasure serving this community for the last 25 years.  I have met people I never would have crossed paths with and become friends with people I never would have known except for VirtualBoxwell.  This work has been immensely satisfying and I thank you for your support, o’ these many years.
