Series 1. Photographs

Physical Description: 478 photographs

Series Scope and Content Summary

Includes photographs taken by David Joslyn during the 1920's while he was an employee of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Many of the photos deal with the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific Railroad Lines. Some of the photographs are copied from earlier photos, drawings and lithographs. Joslyn also took numerous photographs of the State Capitol and the surrounding park as well as many shots from rooftops around the area of downtown Sacramento. These photographs are invaluable when searching for specific locations or businesses in early 20th century Sacramento.
