- Scope and Contents
-
The collection consists of photograph albums, loose photographs, and memorabilia compiled by Frank Kellogg Smith of his travels, predominately in western and central Europe, southern and eastern Africa, and the southern Pacific region, primarily from 1898-1922, with additional materials to circa 1889-1959. Strengths of the collection include photographic documentation at the turn of the twentieth century of localities and peoples in southern and eastern Africa, as well as southeastern Europe.
Titles to the albums come from imprinted titles or manuscript inscriptions by Smith.
Several images are duplicated in photographic prints in different albums, especially those albums documenting trips in Africa. Albums in boxes 14-18 primarily possess photographic prints that duplicate images in the albums in boxes 1-13.
Many of the photographic prints are accompanied by manuscript captions in the negative or in the albums. - Conditions Governing Access
