F.A. Zeusler photograph and film collection [graphic], ca. 1897-1950s.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56053568

Zeusler collected photographs, films, and slides, many of which he may have photographed himself. The largest group consists of images (photographs, films, slides, and glass lantern slides) of Alaska, both Southeast and the Arctic. Many of the arctic images may have originated from his Coast Guard Ice Patrol voyages to that area in the 1930s. Zeusler also collected some Gold Rush era photographs of Alaska from the late 1890s to early 1900s, including the Chilkoot Trail and Nome. In the mid-1950s, after he retired, he took many slides on two trips to Japan and the Far East. Of note among the papers in this collection is a booklet entitled "Eskimo Life told by an Eskimo artist."

13 boxes (29 glass lantern slides; 216 glass slides; 231 slides; 462 negatives; 7 nitrate negatives; 21-16 mm. films; 3-32 mm. films; 2 b&w photo albums; Approx. 1325 b&w photographs from album; 127 loose b&w photographs; 1 magazine article; 1 calendar; 1 booklet)
