104 glass lantern slides and negatives, primarily relating to Michigan, depicting sand dunes, shorelines, forests, and flora. The slides, created by Cowles, George Fuller, W . S. Dudgeon, and others, were likely collected by James Teeri, curator of ecology at the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Many of the University of Chicago slides are available online through the Library of Congress in the American Environmental Photography Collection. Approximately 40 of the glass slides are unique.
