Description of repository / collection image holdings:
Cabot Library's George Augustus Gardner Collection of Photographs is a set of approximately 1,300 photographs of the New England landscape and some nearby states, focused primarily on geological features. This was once a teaching collection for the Geology Department at Harvard University. Most of the photographs date from the late 1880s through the 1910s. As a teaching collection, the Gardner photographs were used to illustrate a number of geological features, including river valleys, mines and quarries, seashore structures, glaciation-related features, road and railroad cuts, and some natural disasters. This collection, from an historical perspective, shows the changes in landscape from this period compared to today.
What we have in VIA:
All photographs in the Gardner Collection are available in VIA. The photographs are black and white, and vary in size from approximately 3x5 inches to larger than 11x18 inches. Location and frequently features were listed on the back of each photograph and are included in the catalog record. Further information, such as photographer, names of people in the photographs, etc., is often listed as well.
