Mail Tribune Photo Negatives 1957-1987
In 1991 the Medford Mail Tribune donated well over 100,000 mostly 35mm negatives to the Southern Oregon Historical Society, filed in more than 11,000 envelopes. Below are transcribed the labels of those envelopes.
Dates given are apparently the dates the negatives were developed or filed, not the dates of creation or publication. Negatives are not in perfect chronological order; contents of some boxes overlap.
Note that the photographers often didn't know or record the proper names of their subjects; try searching also by month, occupation, news event and other keywords.
Note also that beginning with M13F Box 3 many envelopes are empty and many negatives are misfiled in the wrong envelopes.
