Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Contains photographs and negatives of historic figures, Indian gatherings, buildings, and sites. Among others, individuals include Elias Boudinot, Lewis Downing, Quanah Parker, J. T. Parks, Daniel and John Ross, Sitting Bull, and Stand Watie. There are group photographs, including the Cherokee Delegation to Washington in 1866, several council and senatorial groups, and seminary and religious groups. Although many of the building and other site photographs are of Tahlequah, there are also sites in Fort Gibson, Park Hill, and Salina. A Master List introduces this series, and includes dates and titles of 36 photographs. These photographs are identified in parenthesis by the letters ML, followed by a number (ML#). The photographs are organized in two groups: people and buildings. Individuals precede groups; and both are arranged alphabetically. Buildings, monuments, and streets, are arranged alphabetically by city. Photographs with negatives are indicated on the outside of the folder: negatives are housed separately at the end of the sequence.
