| Notes |
|
This fonds previously included 36 glass plate negatives (87/29). Bill Becht Jr., a dealer of antiques and collectibles in Bellingham, Washington believed the negatives were created by E.A. Hegg. As it could not be confirmed that the photographer was Hegg the negatives were added to the Bill Becht Jr. collection, the source of the photographs.
