Work Crew Along Toy-Size Rail Tracks; Metcalf Arizona

Scope and Content Note

From the collection:

The Ryder Ridgway Photograph Collection contains 800 photographs, lantern slides, oversized images, and panoramas. The majority of the images show the economic and social development of Southeastern Arizona (primarily the Thatcher and Safford areas in Graham County, but also including Bisbee, Morenci, Clifton, and Superior).

Many of the photographs depict businesses, buildings, and street scenes. Other images show mining operations and railroads in these areas. Other subjects include San Carlos Apache Indians, the George Lobb family, the William H. Parks family, and hunting. A few items depict scenes in Alaska, Nevada, New Mexico, and California. The 800 photographs are mostly silver gelatin prints, but a few Cirkut panoramas are included.
