Series Accession 2007-M-012: Additional material, Circa 1900-circa 1930

This accession contains photographs, glass negatives, stereoscopic photographs, and a small amount of printed ephemera documenting the southeastern United States, especially South Carolina and Louisiana, during the first part of the twentieth century. Subjects depicted included blacks, both casually and at work; city and rural life; and work activity in cotton and sugar cane fields. Photographs also document buildings, including cabins, slave quarters, plantation homes, farms, and cities. Most of the photographs are undated and are circa 1900-circa 1930 unless more specific dates are noted at the file level below. Some of the photographs are annotated with plate numbers and appear to have been used as illustrations in Phillips's books.
