A university archival finding aid for the Ericson photographic collection, with provenance and research context for northwestern California logging and community history.
Summary and historical context#
The collection’s overview describes scenes from the 1880s through the 1920s, including lumber work, communities, schools, portraits, landscapes, and Native people. A. W. Ericson is the principal photographer; some photographs are by Edgar Ericson.
The finding aid identifies accession 1999.02 and a collection of 497 glass-plate negatives attributed to the Ericson family’s work. Consult the item-level catalog and the separate chronological references when establishing a specific photograph’s date or location. The collection’s overall date range is not the date of every image.
An archival finding aid describes and organizes a collection. It does not automatically supply reproduction permission for every photograph. Hosted images in this library carry separate, item-specific rights information.
