Slater family collection, circa 1850-2010.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/711718022

The collection consists mostly of photographs dating from approximately 1870-1920. These include portraits, group photos, early snapshots, five tintype portraits, and many travel photographs, including a few battleships. Also included is a small photograph album documenting an auto trip to northeastern Oregon in 1914; negatives of scenic images; five Masonic code books; one file of newspaper clippings about the Oregon Zoo; loose album pages from the 1960s with images of the 1962 Columbus Day storm in Portland; and two pieces of school ephemera. Few of the portraits are identified. A number of images are of travel throughout the U.S. and parts of Canada, and many provide excellent images of North American cities and towns in the early part of the 20th century, including Montreal and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904 in St. Louis.
