Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

The subseries Negatives by Subject includes photos of both topics and people. It consists primarily of large format (4” x 5”) black and white negatives in envelopes with original descriptions and dates, from the photographer. To a lesser extent, the subseries also includes some 120 negatives, 35mm negatives, and color negatives.

These negatives may contain additional shots or views related to one that appeared in the newspaper. It is important to note that the date on the envelope may not be the same as the date that photographs ran in the newspaper.

Photographer names are often listed on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner. The photographers most commonly named in this subseries are: Bill Koehler, Paul Horn, Bob Tamaska, and Don Nelson. Additional photographers occurring with somewhat lesser frequency but still significant include: Jim Harlan, Bob Jacobs, Joe Wissel, Bill Simmons, Bill Shepherd, and others.
