Series 6. Photographs, ca. 1870s-1970s

This series includes a tintype album, a cabinet card and cartes de visite album, and three other files of photographs.

The tintype album and cabinet card and cartes de visite album, owned and collated by Nancy Clark Dotson (1857-1949), both contain photographs of her family, friends, and neighbors in Greenwood, WV and beyond; a large majority of these photographs were labeled with the identities of each subject by Dotson.

The first file of photographs contains copies of photographs of Greenwood, WV and its people. The original photographs were donated by the family to the Doddridge County Historical Society in 2012.

The second file of photographs contains mounted photographs, loose photographs, and cabinet cards of Franklin and Nancy Clark Dotson and of their son, Leonard and Vashti Johnson Dotson and their daughter, Loxie Dotson Borror. The subjects of these images were identified and labeled by Dotson.

The final file of photographs contains a flash drive of photographs of the Dotson family farm in Greenwood, WV, the areas surrounding Route 50, and other areas of West Virginia. Identification information for each image is available in the title of each digital file.
