EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS IN NPS PUBLICATION

Photographic portraits, unlike painted or sketched portraits, offer a
window into the past. From historic photographs, historians can learn
how people dressed, how they wore their hair, how they posed for
photographs, and who they chose to be photographed with.  An article in
the Northwest Cultural Resources Institute's newest report discusses the
variety of types of photographs made, including daguerreotypes,
ambrotypes, tintypes and ivorytypes. Tips for examining these
photographs, using examples from the Fort Vancouver National Historic
Site's collection, are also given. To read the publication, visit
