 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Anne Walters Photograph Collection was received as part of the Anne Walters Papers, which were processed separately as Mss 171. The photograph collection consists of photographs of the Walter and Buck families. The time period ranges from the 1890s to the 1960s. The photographs were organized into five series: Anne Walters and family, Buck Homestead in North Dakota, Jamestown College, Haig family, Philippines. The Anne Walters and Family Series consists of two portraits of the Anne Walters, a picture of a class in Boulder, Colorado, and a color picture of Dallas and Anne and their four children as adults. The Buck Homestead in North Dakota Series consists of three photographs of the house belonging to the Buck family near Cando, N.D. The images of the house show the homes evolution from a rough homestead claim shack to prosperous farm home. The Jamestown College Series consists of a graduation portrait of Anne Buck, the graduating class of 1915 in caps and gowns, and a poor quality reprint of Anne with classmates wearing hats.

The Haig Family Series contains three images dealing with Anne Walter’s maternal line. One image is of a women standing in a pantry holding a rolling pin. Another image shows Ernecia (Haig) Buck’s childhood home in New York state at Thousand Island. There is also a copy print of some Haig family members. A separate sheet of paper identifies the people on this photograph. The Philippines Series contains three pages from a photo album, and sixteen loose photographs all from Anne Walter’s time spent teaching at Silliman University in Dumaguete. Of interest are pictures of the acting heads of the university and Philippine children in dramatic costumes.
