Notes
Many of the photographs in this series are fragile, and extreme care should be taken in handling originals. High resolution scans have been made of the oldest photographs in this series, and it is recommended that these be used in lieu of handling original photographic images.
This series was processed by Jim Kichas between December 2014 and January 2015.
Reference staff and researchers should note that the photographs found in the C.R. Savage photograph book, in box 3, have been removed and placed in box 6. This was done to enhance preservation of these historic, at-risk photographs. The scrapbook was saved due to the intrinsic value of the item. The photographs in box 6 have been labeled with the corresponding page number that the photograph was found on. This ensures that original order has been maintained, and that the original arrangement of the photograph book could be easily reconstructed if the need ever arises.
Box 3 Page 12 "Portrait of Unidentified Man" identified as Nathan Sears by Erin Burns in December 2023. Confirmed with FamilySearch ID KWVP-PXF.
