About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Oldsmobile Home: 1950s

Oldsmobile Home: 1950s

I don't know much about the photo other than it was taken in Holland, Michigan, at my great-grandpa's business where they made and installed cement septic tanks. You can see some toward the right of the photo. The car is a 1957 Oldsmobile. Also note the boat in the building. 35mm color slide. View full size.

Mexican Vacation, 1941

Mexican Vacation, 1941

This is my great-grandmother, Elise Hindermann Fallon in Mexico in 1941. She was going to see a special production of Wagner's Ring Cycle and had a car and driver take her and a friend from New Orleans to Mexico City. At one point, they were chased by bandits on horseback. She was a bit of a pistol (she eloped with my great-grandfather).

Chapman Family c.1903

Chapman Family c.1903

I believe this was taken around Angels Camp, California, around 1903. The elderly man's name was likely Francis Sprigg Chapman, my wife's great-grandfather, and former city clerk in Lassen County, California. View full size.
