From the Collection:
The Blaine and Muriel Schultz Family History Photograph Collection includes over 717 photographic prints for many family lines. They were originally within the family binders in the archival collection with multiple images placed on each paper sheet. They are organized by the same family series of the family history collection. Color photocopies are made of all the original sheets and are located in the original place within the family history collection. The photograph prints thus were transferred to this photograph collection and all are organized based on the original family binder titles and in the same order as found in the original files.
