David Lane Wright photograph collection 1929-1967 1947-1966

http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv40310

686 black and white photographs, 50 color photographs, and 14 postcards that, collectively, document the life of Wright from 1947 until 1966. Included are images of athletics at Utah State University, friends and family, U.S.O. and U.S.A.F. activities, and glamour portraits of dancers/actresses. Of particular interest are high quality snapshots of Saigon that document street life in that city, including children, businesses, transportation, and restaurants, and some of Hong Kong city/bay scenes. Also notable are some snapshots of Jim Miller (James Connelly Miller), fellow U.S.U. student and poet. Most of the photographs were removed from an original photograph album because of the high level of acidity in the paper.
