Conservation of the Oberlin, Ohio Photography Album


Adopted by Cinda-Sue Davis

The Oberlin, Ohio photograph album contains 11 studio portrait photographs including several images of family members and friends apparently related to a biracial family based in Oberlin, Ohio.

Acquiring this album and making it available for research will complement our existing holdings related to photographic documentation of African American people. Conservation will include removal of photos, creation of facsimiles to replace originals, stabilization of the binding and torn pages, new housing for the original photos, and a three-part wrap for the album.

The acquisition of this item may also be found here.
