Abstract:

This collection is comprised of photographs of buildings in New Hampshire. They were taken by Bryant F. Tolles as part of research for his book, New Hampshire Architecture, completed in the 1970s. Mr. Tolles was assisant dean at Tufts University from 1965-1971, assistant director for the New Hampshire Historical Society (Concord, NH) from 1972-1974, executive director of Essex Institute (Salem, MA) 1974-1984, and Professor of History and Director of the Museum Studies Program of the University of Delaware from 1984-2006.

Scope and Content:

In the mid 1970s Bryant F. Tolles completed research for a book, New Hampshire Architecture. This collection of photographs and negatives was part of his research for that book, and consists of photos of buildings in New Hampshire towns. The photos are clearly identified by Mr. Tolles on the reverse of each photo, and the files are arranged alphabetically by town.

Arrangement:

This collection is arranged alphabetically, with each folder containing photos of a single town. Larger locations may have multiple folders. The photos are contained in folders in 5 letter size file boxes. Boxes 6 and 7 are small boxes containing negatives in sleeves. Negatives in this file are numbered sequentially, the numbers corresponding to numbers noted on the reverse of photographs. However, since the negatives largerly are NOT labeled with locations, it would be difficult to move first from negative to photo.
