Abstract

This collection contains various photocopies and photograph negatives of the James Brown family. It includes all photocopied black and white photographs, many dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. It also contains the negative film strips and initial produced photographs covered in protective seals. Also included is a newspaper photograph of artist Arnold Roberts detailing the Dames Quarter area in which the Brown family lived. The photographs were produced by Paul Butler, and the Times Newspaper photo was taken by Bill Duck.

Biographical History

The photos detail the James Brown family who had lived in the Dames Quarter area of Somerset County, MD for multiple generations. Not much is known about the subjects photographed other than the external photographic evidence suggests that these were taken in the late 19th-early 20th century.
