Photographs by
Alvin H. Waite of various locales in Washington state (such as Mount Rainier
and the city of Tacoma) as well as the Chicago World's Fair and various
Northwest and Midwest locations.
Alvin H. Waite (also known as A.H. Waite) was born in Iowa in 1862. He
had one daughter, Helen, from his first marriage, and had married his second
wife, Donna Gates, by 1900. During the 1890s Waite worked as a piano tuner in
Tacoma. By 1902 he had moved to Seattle, where he continued working with pianos
at the D.S. Johnston Company. Despite his keen interest in recording his
surroundings with his camera, Waite never made a career out of photography. He
continued as a piano tuner and salesman and in 1915 established a business of
his own, the Alvin H. Waite Piano Company. Alvin H. Waite died in Seattle in
1929.
Waite was an outdoorsman and traveler, and many of his photographs
were made on trips between the West Coast and the Midwest. His photographs of
the Mount Rainier area, made in 1893, may be among the first ever made of the
region. In fact, Waite may have been the first photographer to carry a camera
on an ascent of the mountain. Along with his friends and associates, Albert
Barnes and Henry M. Sarvant, Waite was one of the area's most important
landscape photographers during the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries.
The collection is arranged according to the chronological order in
Alvin H. Waite's logbook. Two versions of the logbook exist. Although the
arrangement of the images did not change in the second logbook, Waite changed
his numbering system; therefore, some negatives have two numbers. All Waite
numbers are from the second version of the inventory unless otherwise indicated
with the note "as listed in original inventory."
The original logbook contains references to images which do not appear
in the second logbook. It appears that Waite removed some of his negatives and
then made a new register book.
The collection contains nitrate and glass plate negatives recording
Chicago World's Fair scenes, climbing trips in Northwest mountains, and various
places in the Northwest and Midwest. Included are images of the Tacoma
waterfront and various streets; the Northern Pacific Railroad headquarters;
ships; scenic and mountaineering views in Mount Rainier National Park locations
such as the Tatoosh Range and the Longmire area; bicycling; Snoqualmie Pass in
Washington's Cascade Range; the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago (1893);
Yakima and the Natches River (especially irrigation flumes); various portraits;
and scenic shots taken in Colorado, Iowa, South Dakota. All photographs were
made by Alvin H. Waite unless otherwise indicated. A copy of the photographer's
detailed logbook is available for viewing. It includes a detailed description
of each image, the location of the person or object depicted, and information
on the date, time of day, and weather conditions for each photograph.
In his logbook, Waite often used the name "Mt.
Tacoma" (derived from the Indian word Takhoma ) to
refer to Mount Rainier.

Lynch, 2003.
Eight deteriorated nitrate negatives (Waite 466, 470, 473, 477-480,
485) were discarded.
Waite's logbooks were relocated from from the Alvin H. Waite Papers,
Manuscript collection 3475, in Special Collections, University of Washington
Libraries, in May 1983. Waite's detailed logbook of photographs, arranged in
chronological order, exists in two versions. Numbers from the second (more
recent) version of the logbook are included in the inventory of photographs
that constitutes part of this finding aid.
The
Henry M. Sarvant Photograph
Collection , PH Coll 35, contains approximately 25 of Waite's
photographs. Sarvant was a fellow mountain climber and landscape photographer.
The men made at least one ascent of Mount Rainier together.
