Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Frank Richard photographs were accessioned as part of his papers. The papers were processed as Manuscript 187. The ten photographs have been organized separately and organized into four series: Richard family, Wild Rice, N.D., Oakwood, N.D. and People. Mr. Richard apparently acquired these images as part of his research on the French American community of Wild Rice, N.D.
The Richard Family Series contains one copy print of the family of Alex and Elisabeth (Levasseur) Richard. They and seven children emigrated from Quebec, Canada and settled at the Holy Cross Mission in Cass County. The image was taken in the 1890s.
The Wild Rice, N.D. Series includes four original prints and a copy print. They include images of St. Benedict Catholic Church, St. Joseph’s School and a copy print of the church rectory. There is also a print of the home of Doctor Maxime and Albertine (Lajoie) Bellemare with the family standing in front. The 35mm copy negative for the church rectory image was processed into the Institute negative collection.
The Oakwood, N.D. Series contains one copy print of the St. Aloysius of Gonzaga Academy with large crowd outside the building. The 35mm copy negative for this print was also processed into the Institute negative collection.
The People Series includes three photomechanical prints and a photograph print in folder. The three prints are of Bishop Justin A. Driscoll of Fargo; Bishop William T. Malloy and Aloisius Cardinal Muench. The photographic print is of Monsignor Gilles Oullette.
