Aultman Studio Register Index Back to: Negative Collections
Glass Negatives

Through the years, the Aultman Studio maintained journals or registers that recorded the names of customers, dates, and glass plate negative numbers of the photographs. This index includes photographs taken by the Aultman Studio between 1890 and 1928.

Hints for searching the index  
The name given in the index is the person who paid for the photograph.  If the photograph is of a child, the name of a parent will probably appear in the index rather than that of the child.  In addition, the index often contains listings under a woman's married name, "Mrs. Wm. T. Hobson," rather than "Mary R. Hobson."

In order to preserve the historical integrity of the index, names appear in the index just as they were written in the registers, even when an error or omission seemed obvious. There are a variety of spellings for some names.  The name "Torres" could be spelled "Torres" or "Torrez."  "Thompson" may appear as "Thomason" or "Thomson."  When searching the index, try alternate spellings of the name you're searching.

Because the original Aultman negatives are glass, and quite old, some of the negatives have been lost or broken. 

Viewing the collection 
Glass negatives may be seen by appointment only through the photography department.  Some Aultman images are available for viewing on http://photoswest.org.  

Aultman Scenes 
The index also includes photographs of businesses or groups.  An alphabetical listing of these photographs can be viewed here: Aultman Scenes.

Search the Aultman Studio Index by last name, first name, negative number, or year.
