UWSpecColl, Collection PH2015-015

This collection was donated to the University of Washington after the Brown family gave a larger collection of photos to Lowell Skoog in 2011. For notes on the other collection, look here.

The collection consists of four boxes. Each box is large enough to hold 8x10 inch prints. Boxes 1 thru 3 are five inches thick and Box 4 is about half that size. Folders within each box are numbered according to the Brown/WSP index scheme. Some folders are marked with the subject while others are not.

Unless otherwise noted, print photographs are generally in black-and-white and slides are in color.
