Aultman,
O.E. Collection Oliver E. Aultman opened the Aultman
Studio in Trinidad, Colorado in 1890. Using glass plate negatives
and later, film negatives, Mr. Aultman made studio portraits of
hundreds of southern Colorado residents. Aultman also photographed
the city of Trinidad and surrounding areas. Following O.E. Aultman's
death in 1954, his son Glen Aultman operated the studio until his
death in November 2000. The Colorado Historical Society purchased
Aultman Studio negatives from Glen Aultman during the 1960s. Glen
Aultman subsequently made donations through the following years
of additional materials to the Society. Donations included additional
photographs, studio equipment, and furniture.
The collection includes approximately 40,000 negatives, as well
as studio registers listing names, negative number and year. The
name in the register is not necessarily the name of the person in
the photograph. Search the Aultman Studio
Registers Index.
Study prints are available for some of the Aultman
images. The study prints are arranged by subject (Children, Men,
Women, Occupations, Trinidad Scenes) and by decade (1890, 1900,
etc.). The study prints are not identified by name of the individual
in the photograph. Some of the Aultman images may be viewed

worked as an official photographer for the Denver and Rio Grande
Western Railroad from the 1890s until 1934. Beam was born May 18, 1868 in New Paris, Ohio. He died in Denver March 16, 1935. The 8 X 10 glass plates were discovered
in the D&RGW Collection. Original Beam prints are filed separately.

Park. Some of Beam's works may be viewed on http://photoswest.org. 36 8X10 plates
Bivans Collection: (see Colorado on Glass p.276)
This collection consists primarily of works by C.H. Clark who operated
a photography studio in Salida from 1886 to 1888, then went into
partnership with C.W. Erdlen in 1889. Clark was also an associate
of George E. Mellen, an early Gunnison photographer who later worked
for W. H. Jackson in Denver. The photographs appear to be the work
of Mellen and Clark from September 1881 until 1920. The negatives
consist of family portraits, residences, and Colorado and Yosemite
landscapes. Clark died in California. His son gave the negatives
to Mrs. Gail Bivans. This collection is part of a larger donation
of prints and glass plate negatives given to the Society by Mrs.
Bivans in 1973. The prints dealing with miscellaneous 19th century
Colorado subjects were integrated into the subject collection photograph
files. Other prints are now in a study print box or filed with the
original prints. 125 5 X 8 plates (Negatives have not been printed).

an early movie maker. He is first listed in the Denver City Directory
in 1891 as a printer for the Denver Republican living at 622 S.

a photographer. In 1910 Buckwalter opened the Moving Picture Equipment
Co. From 1911 to his death on March 7, 1930 he worked in the motion
picture business. The negatives in this collection range in date
from c.1890 to 1925. This collection was acquired from Mrs. H. H.
Buckwalter (Kath P.) in the 1930's. R.A. Ronzio of Golden made many
prints from the Buckwalter negatives in the early 1960's. Ronzio's
prints were placed in loose-leaf notebooks and numbered with Roman
Numerals. The plates in each book were numbered with Arabic Numerals
starting with "1" in each book. This numbering system was retained
after the notebooks were taken apart in 1972. Images from the Buckwalter
Collection can be viewed at http://photoswest.org.
