The Lamartine G. Hardman photograph collection consists of 624 images, 20 of which are framed. The images date from the mid-1800s to 1953. The collection begins with early images of his wife's family--the Griffins, from Valdosta, GA--and ends with photos taken during a world trip by Mrs. Hardman in 1953. Subjects of the photos include the Griffin immediate and extended family, Griffin family vacations, and Hardman and Emma Griffin's courtship. The collection also includes photographs of Hardman's immediate and extended family, Hardman and Griffin family residences and property, and Hardman family vacations. Included are formal portraits of Governor Hardman and informal photographs of Hardman engaged in medical, agricultural and leisure pursuits. Of particular interest are photographs of Hardman with New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, President Calvin Coolidge, and aviator Charles Lindbergh. The photographs have been separated into three groups and organized in chronological order within each group. The three groups are the Griffin family; the extended Hardman family and property; and the immediate Hardman family, including images of Governor Hardman. Each photograph has been identified by a brief description, including date and names where available, as well as by size. All photographs are black and white, with some sepia-toned images and daguerreotypes also included. An index to the photographs is available at the Russell Library. There are also duplicate, matted photographs located with Series VII Family.
