Series II: Life and career, 1933-2001, undated

Language of Materials

English.

Subseries II.1: Photographs

Language of Materials

English.

Scope and Contents

Although the majority of the photographs are undated, they appear to span Sydow's adult life. Photographs of Sydow include professional portraits and personal photographs of Sydow both alone and with friends. Photographs of shows include shows that Sydow acted in as well as shows that Sydow directed.

Arrangement

As the majority of the photographs are undated, they have been arranged by topic (either photographs of Sydow, photographs of shows, or miscellaneous). The photographs of Sydow and of shows have been further divided into black & white and color photographs. Within these divisions photographs are arranged primarily according to size, although an attempt was made to group like photographs together and to arrange them in rough chronological order, based primarily on guesswork.
