Collection of Dallas morning news negatives and copy photographs [graphic]. ca. 1950-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/457270446

During the 1950s, historian Homer DeGolyer (1892-1963) received permission to microfilm a portion of the photographic files of the Dallas Morning News. Eventually, many of these photographs that DeGolyer microfilmed were either destroyed or given away by the Dallas Morning News in 1977 in an effort to conserve space. In 1984 the DeGolyer Library commissioned Andy Reisberg of Flying Horse Photography to make copy negatives from the microfilm reels. These copy negatives with an accompanying print compose the present collection. Some of these photos are also available at the Dallas Public Library, and researchers are advised to consult these files for the best possible print. This collection of Dallas historical photographs is organized by subject and includes the written descriptions appearing on the original microfilm.
