Photo Album
This is a photo album that was given to my father from an aunt. Most of the photos were taken in studios in Galveston, Texas or Marshall, Texas. They are mainly albumen photographs of various sizes from cabinet cards to these smaller sizes. I spine of the album has been lost and I have been contacting conservators at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas about different approaches to fixing the spine. I have documented the pages and I would like to remove the photographs so they can be cleaned and the pages can be reinforced. I am interested in the style of the album and trying to date it. It is a huge project but I would like to see if I can find out if the people in this album are my relatives and what their stories might be.
