Content DescriptionReturn to Top
These photographs were purchased piecemeal, and so constitute an "artificial" collection that can be added to easily. The photographs were arranged first by format, then by the original series numbers, except in the case of stereograph 1:1:A which had no series title and no number. Others were numbered in hand-writing and these numbers were considered reliable. The captions, including spelling and punctuation, were copied verbatum.
It is difficult to date the photographs, as Jackson traveled so extensively in these areas both with the Union Pacific and the U.S.G.S. It is doubtful that any of them date as late as the 1880s, however.
The photographs are all albumen prints, with the exception of 1:2:50117, which is a "photochrom," a color lithographic process used by the Detroit Photographic Co. Many of the stereographs are quite worn and faded, but the 6.5 X 4.25 prints and the oversize items are in very good to excellent condition.
