Series II. Negatives

Series II is primarily acetate, Kodak safety negatives, as well as color Kodak Ektachrome slides, of John Albok's photographs. The majority of the negatives are 2.5 x 2.5 inches though a few are strip negatives and others are 4 x 5 inches. The subject matter echoes the prints however the negatives include some later images not in prints, including more shots of East Harlem, the construction of Lincoln Center, more shots of the United Nations and a few shots of Adlai Stevenson. Not all the Society's negatives are in the print collection and vice versa; for example there is a substantial print collection from the 1939 World's Fair but only one negative.

The negatives are arranged along similar subject headings as the prints but often not sub-divided further. The color slides are stored separately in cold storage and require advance notice to view.
