The Ralph & Loretta (Jonas) Schultz photographs are a part of the Ralph & Loretta (Jonas) Schultz Collection and contain fifty images ranging from town life to family portraits and snapshots. The first 13 images are copied photographs of Fredonia, North Dakota, dating from the early 1900s to 1996. These images are only available in digital format. The other 37 photographs are actual prints in several different formats. They are mostly family portraits and snapshots. The vast majority of the photographs are unidentified and undated. However, the photographs probably range from the late 1880s to the 1950s. The finding aid for items in the physical collection can be found at http://hdl.handle.net/10365/22449
