Charles D. Hessey, Jr. - Photographs
In 2002, I made copy slides of the following photos, all held by Marion Hessey. Nearly all are fine. The Hessey collection includes many fine summer photographs that I haven't cataloged. I've noted the storage locations to make it easier to find the originals.Note: In 2008, the Hessey photo collection was donated to the Mountaineers. Most of the photos listed below are now in the Mountaineers Archives. I have made digital copies of these photos from the archives and more that I haven't listed here. (The Hessey donation to the Mountaineers did not include any prints or photo albums.)
