Collection Overview
Title:
[Grace Moy photograph album]Creator/Contributor:
Moy, Grace, creator, creator.Abstract:
Snapshot photograph album, perhaps compiled and/or once owned by Grace Moy, a young Chinese American woman. Photographs chiefly
depict individuals or small groups of family members and friends, chiefly taken in residential settings or during leisure
outings. Most locations are unidentified with the exception of San Francisco, perhaps where Grace resided, and other California
cities (e.g. Stockton, Quincy). Includes a few images taken in unidentified rural areas, and a few depicting logging activities.
One photograph is inscribed to Gracy Moy. A young woman identified in one image by the initials G.M. (likely Grace Moy) appears
in multiple images. Other Moy family members identified in album include Lillian Clara Moy, Joe Moy, Hyman Moy and Lydia Moy.
Many other individuals depicted are identified, some by their full names, others by first name only.
