Series IV: Photographs, 1927-1962, inclusive

Scope and Contents

The sorted loose photographs were found in various boxes. They are arranged by photo number. Some photographs have descriptive information on the back, but most do not. For identification, consult the Record Book. Also included are loose advertisements featuring photographs found in the Record Book and ephemera related to the photographs, such as order slips with addresses. The "Additional Photographs," were grouped together with a cover sheet. Numbers on the cover sheet correspond to the Record Book.

The unsorted photographs were so badly warped due to water damage that they could not be sorted into the collection. They are unavailable to researchers until treated by a conservator.

The Detroit Kellering Company photo album contains a historical summary of the company on letter head. Photographs in the album are accompanied by captions, which identify buildings, people, machines, and products. Although the photographs are numbered, these numbers do not relate to the Record Book.
