Herman T. Bohlman photograph collection, ca. 1898-1925.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54763831

Most images were taken by Herman T. Bohlman and pertain to his study of birds in the Pacific Northwest, especially at the Oregon coast and the Klamath Lake area. The collection also includes images of Bohlman's river trips on the Lewis River (Washington) and the Willamette River (Oregon) around the turn of the century. Many of the trips were taken with fellow ornithologist and conservationist William L. Finley, who appears in several photos. A number of the bird photos appear in or are similar to those in Birds of Oregon (Gabrielson and Jewett, 1940) and William L. Finley: Pioneer Wildlife Photographer (Mathewson, OSU Press, 1986). Also included in the collection are images of the Portland waterfront wharves; Crater Lake; Metlakatla, Alaska; Mazamas in the Mt. Jefferson region in 1917; and Bohlman Family and friends. Sixteen lantern slides are copies of Weister & Co. views of the Columbia River Gorge from 1914 and 1915. Several of the film negatives are copies of bird photos and illustrations from other sources.

180 lantern slides, 33 prints, 131 glass negatives, and 135 film negatives.
