Angelus Studio photographs
Collection comprises glass negatives, nitrate negatives, and safety negatives, as well as original photographs, reprinted photographs and logbooks from the photography studios of George M. Weister (1862-1922), Arthur M. Prentiss (dates undetermined), and the Angelus Commercial Photo Company of Portland, Oregon. The collection provides extraordinary documentation of the city of Portland, the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905, Oregon landmarks, and commercial operations, including logging and fish packing. Other major subjects of the collection include buildings, ships and harbors, manufacturing, cemeteries, William Gray Purcell, and the Pendleton Round-Up. In 1940 Zed N. Clark assisted members of the W.P.A. Oregon Historical Records Survey in selecting 598 images, which were reclassified by subject and consecutively numbered for the Guide to the Angelus Studio collection of historical photographs
