Lavik Photo Project Index

Posted on this website are 319 items, mostly photographs, but a few greeting cards and other items, that are part of the Lavik Photo Project Collection.  This page will serve as an index for them all.  Each item is assigned a number, and the items are posted in chronological order on pages in the Lavik website section, forty to a page – and the numbers of each item on those pages will match this index. 

There are different things about each item that will be indexed.  Roughly one-third of the people in the items are identified, so the name of the person in the item will be placed in the index.  All locations of photo studios will be listed and indexed.  Also indexed will be the name of the studio or the photographer.  Cities associated with an item will be indexed by state or province.  There are items from some countries not in Canada or the United States – Norway, Denmark, France, and Japan – and items from those countries will be indexed under that country by location. There are a few items where there is a strong guess who is in a photograph – that item will be indexed under the name of the person in that “guess”.

Additionally, there are photographs for which there is no identification, no studio, no city, nor a date.  I will have a catch-all category for this at the end of the index, titled “Unidentified Photos”, which will allow for including these items in the index.  If there is a studio or a city with an unidentified person, they will not be included in this index item, and will be indexed by the studio and city of the studio.  

Surprisingly, there are just 58 of the 319 items in this category of being completely unidentified, in part because there are a number of photos with unidentified people in them – but a studio and city listed with that photo – which means that there are many more than 58 items with unidentified people.  When I acquired all these items twenty years ago, there were just ten of the photos that had an identification, and a few more identified greeting cards. After two decades of work, there are roughly 137 of the 319 that are identified or with an educated guess - that does include the few photos that are photos of identified locations. Hopefully, putting all these up will lead to more identifications.
