Content Description

This artifical collection is comprised of images from many different donors, organized by Special Collections staff in order to document 135 individual cities, towns or geographical regions in Idaho. The numbering system was devised by Special Collections staff. Negatives and oversized prints are housed separately - negatives in the Copy Negatives area near Day-NW and oversized prints in the oversized metal cabinets. Images show local industry and infrastructure often not seen any where else. Many locations are now uninhabited or no longer exist.

The majority of the images have been digitized and now comprise the Idaho Cities and Towns digital collection.
