38 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



One hundred such lists relating to specific tribes and subjects are now 

 available. 



The Bureau has been fortunate in receiving the cooperation of 

 several collectors of photographs that have ethnological and histori- 

 cal value. Some of the collectors lent their pictures for copying, 

 while others gave their prints to the Bureau, thus insuring their pres- 

 ervation and making them available to students. 



An important collection of over 115 negatives of Seminole Indians 

 made by Charles Barney Cory, Sr., in Florida in the period 1877-95 

 was lent by Mrs. Zelma Carolyn Cory of Homewood, 111., and 

 Charles Barney Cory of Madison, 111., through Alan K. Sawyer of the 

 Art Institute of Chicago. Enlarged prints from these negatives are 

 on file for reference at the Bureau. In addition, a group of 28 origi- 

 nal and postcard prints by various photographers, collected by 

 Charles Barney Cory in Florida and in the West, and relating to the 

 Seminole, Shoshoni, Bannock, Paiute, Dakota, and other western 

 tribes, was lent by Mr. Sawyer for copying. 



A collection of 65 photographs of Seminole Indians, made by Wil- 

 liam D. Boehmer, Dwight R. Gardin, and others, was lent for copying 

 by William D. Boehmer, educational field agent, Seminole Indian 

 Agency, Okeechobee, Fla. 



A series of 21 negatives, prints, and postcard reproductions relating 

 to the Seminole Indians, made and collected by the photographer, 

 C. N". Button, in the first decade of the 20th century, was lent for 

 copying by Louis Capron, West Palm Beach, Fla., together with 4 

 Seminole photographs made by Capron in the 1930's. 



A collection of 115 prints of Indians of the Dakota, Chippewa, 

 Winnebago, Paiute, Crow, Apache, and other tribes, made by com- 

 mercial photographers in the latter half of the 19th century, was 

 donated by G. Hubert Smith of Lincoln, Nebr. In addition, several 

 early stereographs of Minnesota Indian subjects were lent by him for 

 copying. 



A microfilm of the South Dakota Historical Society's collection of 

 about 400 photographic prints relating to Western Indian history and 

 Indian wars, along with a transcript of the accompanying caption 

 material, was made available to the Bureau, through the courtesy of 

 James Tubbesing of Winchester, Va., who made the film. A ref- 

 erence set of enlarged prints has been made of about 130 subjects se- 

 lected from the series because they supplement or document photo- 

 graphs already in the Bureau's collections. 



A series of commercial photographs, including 17 by H. Bueh- 

 mann, Tucson, Arizona Territory, relating to the Apache Indians, 

 and 9 by J. N. Choate, Carlisle, Pa., showing students at the Indian 

 School at Carlisle, was received by transfer from the Department of 

 Civil History, Smithsonian Institution.
