Chihuahua, Mexico photograph album
Collection area: Borderlands
Collection dates: 1906-1909
Many of the over 600 small black and white photographs were taken in Mexico, mostly in Chihuahua. Subjects include mines, railroads, Tarahumara Indians and other local inhabitants, landscapes, street scenes, and mission churches. The other locations are various New England states and Colorado. The photographs have handwritten annotations below that often identify the places or people; many are of family and friends.
The family name is unknown, but they appear to have been from New England. At least one of the members was involved in mining ventures in Chihuahua, and possibly, Colorado.
