http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/259426709

The collection includes representations from Lindsley's various photographic series. The most extensive group depicts Lindsley and others, including Victor W.S. Denny, at Esther Mine in Kittitas County, part of Lindsley's "Gold Creek" series. Other images depict Mount Rainier and other Cascades landscapes, Lake Chelan, rock formations, and native plants. Lindsley also collected and copied images of historic Seattle for his "Old Seattle" series. These images includes depictions of early Seattle, of historic Seattle events such as the Great Fire, of Indian settlements, of ships on the waterfront, and of Denny family members and Denny residences, including the original Denny cabin at Alki Point. The collection includes a number of these images, including a set of lantern slides which Lindsley probably used to illustrate talks to community groups.
