[Group of people beyond row of grave markers]
Scope and Contents
Gov. Swineford collected the photographs during his 1888 voyage aboard the Thetis. Included are views of the Thetis and its crew, Eskimos, seal harvesters, the Jane Grey, Orthodox Eastern Churches in Alaska, King Island, St. Paul Island and other Alaskan villages along the coast. The collection includes 26 duplicate photographs, mounted on Bristol board, captioned in ink. Since some of the captions differ from and provide more information than the image in the album, the information has been included in the inventory.
