Collection Scope and Content
The Dr. Morris P. Kaufman photographs, circa 1925-1935, (SAFR 24265, P80-004a) are comprised mainly of photographs of Kaufman's
1925 voyage to Alaska aboard STAR OF ALASKA (built 1886; ship, 3m). The collection has been processed to the item level and

to Alaska, as well as photographs of other Alaska scenes, circa 1925-1935. There are 29 photographic images in 90 physical
forms (29 nitrate negatives, 29 preservation contact interpositives, 29 preservation contact negatives, and 3 black-and-white
photographic prints). Dr. Morris P. Kaufman is possibly the photographer.
Some of the STAR OF ALASKA deck views include people, one of whom is identified as artist Gordon Grant. Other photographs

is one photograph of fishing activities aboard a lighter as well as a photograph of the fishing boat WAYNE.
