Ben Moore Patrick photographic collection, 1941-1942.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42910870

The collection consists of black and white photographs taken by Ben Moore Patrick in different areas of Granville and Durham counties, N.C. Patrick took the images between October 1941 and May 1942 before construction began on Camp Butner, a United States military facility built in the area during World War II. The images document the rural communities and residents displaced by construction of the camp. The collection includes a few early construction scenes at the camp, but most of the images are of homes; farmlands; farm buildings; railroads; churches; and residents, some of whom were African Americans.
