Acquisition Information

These photos were removed from the Moses Thatcher Sr. Papers, COLL MSS 22 and the Thatcher Family Papers, COLL MSS 93. Those collections were donated by members of the Thatcher family including Leora Thatcher.

Processing Note

A small number of photographs from the collection were removed and mounted in the regular photograph file. These were group photos rather than portrait style prints and were not held in any original mountings. A large bundle of negatives was also donated and those of interest have been printed and are mounted in the U.S.U. historical photo-board files.
