The Bullock-Pettit Photographic Collection consists of personal photos from Dr. Waller O. Bullock and his wife Minnie Pettit Bullock and a few photographs from Mrs. Bullock's sister, Katherine Rebecca Pettit. The Bullock-Pettit Photographic Collection was originally separated from the manuscript collection, the Bullock-Pettit Family Papers (87M26.) The photographic collection is arranged by series by person than into subject folders. The photographic processes included some modern process; several sliver print photographs, two photographic cutting plates, eight negatives, and 35 glass lantern slides. Dr. Bullock used the glass lantern slides in his lectures as a professor. Most photographs in the Minnie Pettit Bullock's series shows various stages of renovation by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) at the Ephraim McDowell House. Mrs. Bullock was supplied with "before and after" photographs of the renovation taken by the WPA and images of the furnished Ephraim McDowell House in the 1950s by the Lexington Herald-Leader.
