Halliday Historic Photograph Company photographic collection, 1890s-1930s
Description:
There are over 3,000 original negatives in the Halliday Historic Photograph Company Photographic Collection, most with corresponding original prints. Supplementary information about the dates of individual photographs is available from a small collection of the firm's published catalogues (located in Documentary box: Photography and Photographers). The majority of the photographs are of Massachusetts towns and buildings that fit the criterion of historic. There are virtually no views of commercial blocks, late-nineteenth century buildings, or industrial developments. Source: Guide to the Library and Archives, 8.
