Series IV. Glass Plate Negatives, ca. 1900 - 1910

Series IV. Glass Plate Negatives This series is divided into two subseries based on size: 5 x 7 inch plates, filed alphabetically by sitter; and 8 x 10, filed alphabetically by sitter, followed by miscellaneous subjects and unidentified portraits. These approximately 600 glass plates are the only remaining negatives from the original 1942 donation. Only a very selected few have been printed; those prints are found in Series I and II. Otherwise, the vast bulk of these images exist only in this format. The majority of this series is made up of portraits, with the only miscellaneous subjects being the Taft trip to the Philippines, hot springs in Virginia, theatrical companies, and the 1906 Yale/Princeton football game.

The glass plate negatives were once in the negative file but are now reunited intellectually with the Burr McIntosh prints. The prefix is still on the enclosures but is no longer pertinent.
