Biographical Note

Pharmacist and photographer Henry Engberg was the owner of a Bellingham area pharmacy, Engberg Drug Co. Many of the photographic postcards included in the collection are labeled “Engberg Pharmacy” or “Engberg photo.” Henry Engberg's son Paul also took some of the pictures in this collection. The accompanying notes indicate that Paul was very interested in snow conditions and landslides in the Mount Baker region, and may have used this collection for a meteorology study.
