Biographical Note
Michael Cirelli was an avid researcher of Seattle and Northwest photography and history. A Seattle native,
Cirelli grew up in South Seattle, served in the Navy as a photographer in the 1960s, and afterwards continued to work
with photography as a printer. When Cirelli lost his job around 1980, he managed to live on a modest fixed income and
devote his time to research. Though he had researched and collected all his life, after 1980 he spent much of his time
at local libraries photocopying and hand copying old newspaper articles and looking at photographs, and visiting local
antique shops, collecting historic photographs and ephemera. Considered a local authority on historical photographers
that visited or settled in Seattle or the Northwest, Cirelli amassed extensive files on early regional photography and
history over his years of research and corresponded regularly with other local history aficionados and people engaged
in genealogical research.
Michael Cirelli died at 58 years old in 2002.
The collection consists of research files on Seattle and Northwest photography and history, and Cirelli’s
collection of photographs of Northwest subjects, largely by photographers who worked or lived in Seattle. The bulk of
the materials dates from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
The direction of Cirelli's research was informed by his focus on photography and the photographic record of
early Seattle, Washington State and (to a lesser extent) Northwest history. The collection reflects the branching
nature of his research; in addition to files on particular photographers, the collection includes files on the people,
places, and events that were the subjects of early regional photography. So while Cirelli collected materials on
established photographers like Frank LaRoche, the Lomen Bros. and Webster and Stevens, as well as on lesser known
photographers, he also accumulated materials about Washington Territory pioneers, local politicians, prominent
families, and picturesque local characters (such as Seattle’s “Umbrella Man,” Robert Patten), as well as on buildings,
neighborhoods and events. In addition to the subject files, the collection contains a large amount of materials which
remained unsorted at the time of Cirelli’s death, mostly photocopies, transcribed articles and notes.
The photography collection provides examples of work by many of the major photographers of the Northwest,
largely photographers based in Seattle. Most of the photographs depict people and places in Seattle and Washington
State, but a few depict other Northwest locations such as Alaska and British Columbia.
The collection also includes two sketchbooks created by Seattle pioneer Alfred M. Schillestad.
Arranged in 3 series:
- Research files
- Photographs
- Alfred M. Schillestad sketchbooks
