Revised by:India Spartz
ACQUISITION: In 1908, W.H. Case, a Juneau photographer, prepared a pictorial display of pioneer portraits. The photographs copied here are from a display that was at the New York Tavern, a Juneau bar. The original photographs were probably taken by Case and other photographers. It is not known how many photo displays were created. Other copies of the original display are at the Juneau Pioneers Home, Alaska State Museum and the Masonic Temple in Juneau, Alaska.
ACCESS: The photos may be viewed. However they may not be photocopied.
COPYRIGHT: Request for permission to publish or reproduce material from the collection should be discussed with the Librarian.
PROCESSING: The 170 photographs were copied from original prints onto 27 negative (4x5”) with approximately 12 portraits per negative. A large negative (12x15”) of the entire group is included. In 1995, Juneau resident Sarah Lupro corrected the original finding guide resulting in a revised listing.
