Abstract
The collection consists of images, both photograph prints and negatives. The collection was originally in three cardboard boxes, in no particular order, one of which had been heavily water damaged, probably in the 1937 Flood, as all the negatives and prints before that date from that box were damaged. Many had to be discarded. Most of the original sleeves or envelopes showed the date and name of the subject. In addition to the negatives, many sleeves also contained a print of the image. Some sleeves also contained negatives or prints of other unidentified individuals. Some of these were prints that had been brought in to Barnett’s studio only to have copies made. As of this date these unidentified images have not been digitized. Individual negatives and prints in white paper folders are in alphabetical order within the large acid-free folders. We have noted “Notan Studio” as a online search term only on those images that show it was a Notan Studio proof, or a stamp on the back of a print showing that studio name. A few of the subjects had picture postcards made. The individuals’ name we used in the image record came from the label on the front of the original sleeve. It was obvious that the subject of some prints did not match the name on the original sleeve. The name on the sleeve was probably the person who ordered the prints.
