University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections PH0491 Engberg, Henry Henry Engberg photograph collection 1909-1918 55 photographic prints (1 box) 25 negatives (1 box) : nitrate Collection materials are in English. Photographs documenting hikes on Mt. Baker and other Northwest mountains and glacier

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.

The collection consists of photographic postcard prints and nitrate negatives of hiking trips, mostly to Mt. Baker, made by the Engberg family and their friends. The collection contains views of various mountain summits and glaciers, as well as photographs of the hikers.

The collection is open to the public.
