Pueblo man, 1871
Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Content Warning
Racist, colonialist, and sexist language were used to describe many of the items in this collection. In most cases, descriptions were creator-supplied. In other cases, in which photographs lacked identifying information, descriptions were created by an archivist. However, the collection is a candidate for ongoing reparative description work. We hope that researchers will engage in a dialogue with staff about issues in the collection and changes that could help.
- Scope and Contents
Title from negative entry no. 625 in the index of the DCPNAI. Possibly printed by Jackson. Taken September 30, 1871, during the Feast of San Geronimo. Subject from the Tanoan family. Inventory number appears in image. Manuscript caption below print reads: "Taos Pueblo woman."
- Arrangement
The collection is arranged by folio (determined by manuscript foliation) into three boxes. Folio 1 (leaves 1-19) is in Box 1, Folio 2 is in Box 2 (leaves 1-17) and Box 3 (leaves 18-32).
