Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Coleman collection consists of 1025 photographs, including paper prints, glass-plate positives, glassplate negatives, and film negatives. Panoramic originals too large for the regular boxes are stored in the Institute for Regional Studies Oversize Photographs Collection, Drawer #9, folder 14. Reduced-size photocopies of these images are filed along with the standard-sized images.
Non-human subjects include scenes from in and around Ellendale; streets and buildings, businesses, churches, and aerial views of the town both from grain elevators and from airplanes. A large number of photographs are from the college, and these provide a useful record of how the campus and its various buildings appeared at different stages in its history.
Human subjects include individuals in candid and more formal settings; group portraits of children and adults, many of which are associated with the college or the public school, civic organizations, or local government. The collection includes a large number of formal group portraits or classes, clubs, and miscellaneous campus organizations that were taken at the college from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. One notable group of photos are Kodak pictures taken by Arthur Kirschner from the late 1920s and early 1930s, displaying young people involved in various sporting activities, including amateur aviation. Another notable group of photos are of postcards from the early days of auto tourism in and around Medora, North Dakota.
A set of 46 glass slide negatives were taken in and around the town of Lowry, S.D. near the time of the town’s founding in 1907. The Lowry slides feature fourth-of-July celebrations, family life, and the country around the town.
A particularly notable part of this collection consists of 126 glass-slide positive photographs taken in Germany by Prof. A.E. Dunphy of the State Normal & Industrial School from April-June 1914. Professor Dunphy was participating in a visitation program to acquaint American industrial arts teachers with the organization and methods of the industrial schools of Munich. The photographs include classroom scenes of German industrial schools, examples of crafts made in the schools, street scenes, and scenes from various landmarks and museums in and around Munich.
