Papers of William Henry Dudley, a University of Wisconsin librarian, lecturer, and amateur photographer including correspondence, primarily with the Dudley family of Albion, Ohio, and Canistota, South Dakota, and photography. Dudley's amateur photography was of a high level and is represented by black and white prints and negatives of landscapes in the Wisconsin Dells area; the University Heights neighborhood in Madison; Manistee, Michigan; steamships on Lake Michigan; and boats on the Mississippi River. Additional prints include carte-de-visite portraits of relatives; portraits of W. H. Dudley himself may be found in the Visual Materials Name File. Lantern slides, many of which were hand tinted, were used by Dudley for professional talks. They include aesthetic photography of Europe, and a smaller number that relate to the Wisconsin Dells, Devils Lake, and the St. Louis World's Fair. Some of these images were photographed by Katherine Allen, Charles N. Brown, Ethel Raymer Edmundson, Reuben Gold Thwaites, and Frederick Jackson Turner and copied by Dudley. The processed portion of the collection is summarized above and is described in the register. Additional accessions are described below.
