Special Collections

Special Collections are photographs received from private donors which are kept as separate entities. They range from vast groups of photos and negatives numbering in the thousands to three unique nature prints.

 

Private donations include images of Great Lakes vessels collected by Edwin Brown, DeWitt Watson, and Earl Crandall. Photos of Michigan scenes used to manufacture postcards are found in collections of the Albertype Company, Charles Childs, and Stanley Kufta, pertaining mostly to the western portion of the state.
