Abstract The Edward S. Curtis Collection offers a unique glimpse into Curtis's work with indigenous cultures. The more than 2,400 silver-gelatin photographic prints were acquired by the Library of Congress through copyright deposit from about 1900 through 1930. About two-thirds (1,608) of these images were not published in Curtis's multi-volume work, The North American Indian. The collection includes a large number of individual or group portraits, as well as traditional and ceremonial dress, dwellings and other structures, agriculture, arts and crafts, rites and ceremonies, dances, games, food preparation, transportation, and scenery. The portion of the collection that is cataloged online represents those photographs for which copy negatives or transparencies exist.

Record Info Records originated with the DLF Newsletter, 2000-2005, from which they were converted into a FileMaker database. The FileMaker DB was imported into a database system currently maintained by the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Records for collections added after 2005 were created in this database as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. This database is currently being maintained as part of the Aquifer American Social History Online project. 2008-04-23 eng English Digital Library Federation (DLF) oai:dlfcollectionsregistry.grainger.uiuc.edu:624
