DESCRIPTION OF SERIES AND ITS CONTENTS:
(545, 520)
This series contains approximately 4,000 photographs and photograph negative albums taken primarily by S.W. McCallie, the Georgia State Geologist, and other staff members of the Department of Mines, Mining and Geology apparently in connection with official field trips.
The subjects of these photographs vary widely, perhaps moreso than some might expect. Although a majority pertains to geological sites and some are even grouped by subjects such as gold, kaolin, etc., others show old bridges, roads, industrial sites, water wheels, iron works, gold mines, etc. Consequently, this collection documents rather completely the early industrial development of Georgia. These photographs moreover depict the variety of natural beauty of the State.
Outdoors in Georgia, the official magazine of the Department of Natural Resources, very often utilized this collection as a source of illustrations showing the natural environment. A small portion of the collection depicts scenes
in other southern states.
The negative albums, containing negatives of pictures in the collection and of some which do not appear as well, are arranged numerically by assigned negative number. The photographs are identified and cross-referenced to these negative numbers.
There are two distinct arrangements for the photographs. The majority is arranged alphabetically by county and thereunder by subject. The remainder is arranged by subject. A subject card index, apparently not complete, accompanies
the photographs.
For other photographs taken by the Department of Natural Staff, please see RGSGSERIES 50-2-20, Photographs of the Georgia Geological Survey, 1912.
