Pop Ups on our web site? Nope. None. Nada. Zilch... Note: Some current Blocker programs are so overzealous that they mistake the above navigational bar's coding as a pop up. All the above coding does is change the color of each navigational block and add in an arrow -- this is called a "rollover" NOT a "pop up". There is no additional coding and there are no additional ads. This problem does not happen on a Macintosh. However, MicroSoft is aware of the problem and claims that it'll be fixed in their next update. So surf our site with peace of mind.

 

Who we are and what we do...
Image Replicas Mercantile is a joint effort between the Western Mining & Railroad Museum and Teply Graphic Arts & Publishing, LLC to create an outlet that supports the museum. All proceeds raised through Image Replicas Mercantile go toward its award winning annual Heritage Week celebration.
	These are same photo reproductions that you buy at the Western Mining & Railroad Museum. Teply Graphic Arts & Publishing, LLC already provides the restorations and high quality photos for resale to the museum produced to the Smithsonian Institution & Library of Congress Digitization Standards using hundred year archival inks on heavy weight photo paper. All reproductions are taken from actual historical photos -- usually from Utah.
You may ask what is so special about Helper, Utah and the Western Mining & Railroad Museum? Well, for starters -- we've been chosen by True West Magazine as a top western town for the last two years! Secondly, the museum is a regional repository -- with a collection of over 5,000 historic photos and thousands of archive collections dating from the 1880s through modern day. And finally, in some ways we haven't left the Old West's way of doing stuff -- our last honest celebrity/politician was Butch Cassidy!  Feel free to browse through our wide collection of historic photographs and merchandise. New photos will be added monthly and others will be available for only a short time. We have everything from coal mining and mining camps to railroads, outlaws, disasters and life in Eastern Utah. If you don't see what you are looking for, let us know. We can search through our collections to find what you need.

Featured: Rails Around Helper Signed Copies...
	Image Replicas Mercantile is proud to be the only on-line source of signed copies of Rails Around Helper! Rails Around Helper is the newest book in Arcadia Publishing's historical "Rails Around..." series. This 128 page book tells the almost 100 year story of the Rio Grande's treacherous route between Soldier Summit and Provo, Utah and all of the towns that were created in between to service the railroad line. Rails Around Helper features newly restored and never before seen photos from museum archives and from private collections. If you purchase Rails Around Helper as part of the "Grab Bag" or "Supply Wagon of Loot" then we will send you a personalized signed copy dedicated to whomever you want by author SueAnn Martell. Rails Around Helper is a great addition to any train buff's collection and a great way to get a start on the New Year or birthdays or Father's Day!
SueAnn Martell's second book in the series is now in production and will be on sale Fall of 2008! Coal Camps will show the history of the coal mining towns that surrounded Helper and supplied the railroad. Now ghost towns, these mining company "camps" ranged from cramped tent cities and tar paper shacks to large Italian stone and red tile townships. Photos will come from the museum, private collections and Image Replicas Mercantile. Image Replicas Mercantile will once again be the only on-line source for signed copies! Send us an email if you want to be contacted when we start taking pre-orders.
