Albumen prints taken by photographers W.H. Jackson, C.R. Savage, and I.W. Taber from the 1870s to the early 1880s. Most of the photos show scenes along the Denver & Rio Grande or Central Pacific Railroads in California, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Also included are images from Santa Fe, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and the Grand Canyon. The prints were removed from the album to prevent mechanical damage to loose prints and because the album pages were composed of highly acidic wood pulp paper. The original album is kept separately in Box 2.
