This collection of glass lantern slides presents a visual story of Alaska and Alaskans from the late nineteenth century until 1916. The collection is ongoing; slides are added to the end of the collection as they are received. Subjects include communities, pioneer life, fishing and the fishing industry, logging, ships, glaciers, farms, animals, landscapes and Alaskan Natives and their culture. The slides are both black and white and color; some are hand-tinted.
