Portrait of an Indian man, possibly from the Southwest, 1860-1865
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
Cataloger supplied title. Inventory number "798" appears in image. Caption cut from Jackson's catalogue for entry 797 and erroneously pasted below photograph. This is the result of two errors, as neither 798 nor 797 in Jackson's catalogue reference this photograph.
- 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).
