Scope and Content of Collection
Artificial collection of prints, negatives, and albums. Covers social life and customs of native peoples primarily in California
and the Southwest, but also the northwest (Spokane, Washington from 1891-1905) and the Dakota Territory. Photographic types
include cabinet cards, cynotypes, glass plates and stereoviews. Most albums are annotated; some albums appear to have been
compiled by workers at Indian schools (i.e. Talklai Indian School, Arizona). A large portion of the collection are negatives.
