Collection Overview

This collection was compiled by the Division of Forestry for use in information and education programs on the state of the timber industry in North Carolina. The bulk of the collection is comprised of photographs mounted on cards containing descriptive information. These cards were arranged in collections according to subject matter. This arrangement has been retained. Many of the individual cards are missing. Also included among these collections is a group of photographs copied from the album of F.W. Bicknell. This album is also in the Archives.

Besides the card collections, this collection also contains many loose photographs depicting various aspects of timber in North Carolina. One large group of such photographs, taken during the 1940's, was too damaged to salvage, but the negatives and most of the captions have been retained in the collection. In addition to the negatives, for many of the collection's photographs there is also a file of correspondence from the Forestry Office concerning their photographs and descriptions of many of the items in the collection.

Arrangement

The collection has been arranged by subject using the headings created by the originating agency. The collections on the cards are in their original order. The remainder of the collection has been arranged by subject in alphabetical order.
