The Alliance of the Belogradchik Natives & Friends of Belogradchik (ABN&FB) is
a unique learned society dealing with local/family history, oral history,
military history, heritage, museum and tourism studies, folk studies, memory
studies, rural studies. This variety of topics will be pursued by making use of
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary instruments. ABN&FB collects paper and
photo archives documenting the past and present days of the town. Partially
these materials will be presented in Society's List 'Belogradchik at Yahoo'
in a digital form. The membership in the Society is free for anyone who are
interested in such a matter and shares ABN&FB's goals. The list of founder-
members of ABN&FB is under updating now. Welcome!

ABN&FB PHOTO ARCHIVES: HISTORICAL SECTION
The Historical Section will be split in several parts and among them are: Town
and Its Region; Family Pictures; Social Activity of Belogradchik citizens;
Portrait Gallery, School Life, 15th Infantry Lom Regiment.
Old photographs hold a special mystery. Being able to study scenes and faces
from the past and to know how something or somebody looked so long ago
makes you feel almost as if you had been there yourself or known that person
in some fleeting way, as if you could smell the air or hear the voices, feel
the wind, the press of a hand.
