Title
A name given to the resource
George C. Davis Photographic Records
Description
An account of the resource
The Davis Photographic Records contain approximately 12,200 black and white images, negatives, glass plate negatives and glass lantern slides. Black and white prints vary in size between 5"x7", 8"x10" and various oversized prints; 8"x10" glass plate negatives; 5"x7" and 8"x10" negatives; 3"x5" glass lantern slides. All Davis images can be dated circa 1904-1968. There are images with Davis' signature that predate 1904, but they are believed to have been taken by Chandler Studio, the photography firm bought out by Davis in 1904. Although the majority of Davis' images are marked with his signature in the lower right corner, it is important to note that not all of the images are marked. Davis rarely recorded identifying information on the images. For this reason, many of his images are unidentifiable. The majority of images from the Davis Collection seen on this database are street scenes, businesses and points of interest in Roanoke and its vicinity where it was possible to at least minimally identify them. While the Virginia Room has a large number of portraits from Davis' collection, they are not represented here. An index of all identified portraits is available in the Virginia Room.

A name given to the resource
George C. Davis Photographic Records
Description
An account of the resource
The Davis Photographic Records contain approximately 12,200 black and white images, negatives, glass plate negatives and glass lantern slides. Black and white prints vary in size between 5"x7", 8"x10" and various oversized prints; 8"x10" glass plate negatives; 5"x7" and 8"x10" negatives; 3"x5" glass lantern slides. All Davis images can be dated circa 1904-1968. There are images with Davis' signature that predate 1904, but they are believed to have been taken by Chandler Studio, the photography firm bought out by Davis in 1904. Although the majority of Davis' images are marked with his signature in the lower right corner, it is important to note that not all of the images are marked. Davis rarely recorded identifying information on the images. For this reason, many of his images are unidentifiable. The majority of images from the Davis Collection seen on this database are street scenes, businesses and points of interest in Roanoke and its vicinity where it was possible to at least minimally identify them. While the Virginia Room has a large number of portraits from Davis' collection, they are not represented here. An index of all identified portraits is available in the Virginia Room.

All Davis images can be dated circa 1904-1968. There are images with Davis' signature that predate 1904, but they are believed to have been taken by Chandler Studio, the photography firm bought out by Davis in 1904. Although the majority of Davis' images are marked with his signature in the lower right corner, it is important to note that not all of the images are marked. Davis rarely recorded identifying information on the images. For this reason, many of his images are unidentifiable. The majority of images from the Davis Collection seen on this database are street scenes, businesses and points of interest in Roanoke and its vicinity where it was possible to at least minimally identify them. While the Virginia Room has a large number of portraits from Davis' collection, they are not represented here. An index of all identified portraits is available in the Virginia Room.

George C. Davis Photographic Records
Description
An account of the resource
The Davis Photographic Records contain approximately 12,200 black and white images, negatives, glass plate negatives and glass lantern slides. Black and white prints vary in size between 5"x7", 8"x10" and various oversized prints; 8"x10" glass plate negatives; 5"x7" and 8"x10" negatives; 3"x5" glass lantern slides. All Davis images can be dated circa 1904-1968. There are images with Davis' signature that predate 1904, but they are believed to have been taken by Chandler Studio, the photography firm bought out by Davis in 1904. Although the majority of Davis' images are marked with his signature in the lower right corner, it is important to note that not all of the images are marked. Davis rarely recorded identifying information on the images. For this reason, many of his images are unidentifiable. The majority of images from the Davis Collection seen on this database are street scenes, businesses and points of interest in Roanoke and its vicinity where it was possible to at least minimally identify them. While the Virginia Room has a large number of portraits from Davis' collection, they are not represented here. An index of all identified portraits is available in the Virginia Room.

Underwood Aerial Photographs
Description
An account of the resource
The following photographs are a series of black and white aerial images of the City of Roanoke and vicinity. The images were taken by Underwood & Underwood photographers in October 1924 for the Roanoke Railway and Electric Company. The images were originally bound in book format entitled, Aerial View of Roanoke and Vicinity Made for Roanoke Railway and Electric Company. Images include local industries, such as the Norfolk & Wesstern railway shops and yards, American Viscose, and Roanoke Railway and Electric Company. Of special interest are photographs of local neighborhoods, high schools and colleges. Images in the collection are 8"x10". Due to the deterioration of the photographs, the images were removed from the binding and placed in polyethylene sleeves. The number of each image corresponds to its order within the bound volume.

Description
An account of the resource
Photographs in this collection were produced for the 1928 City Planning Commission, which drew upon the 1907 Remodeling Roanoke: Report to the Committee on Civic Improvement by John Nolen, Landscape Architect from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 1907 published plan saw little action from the city and was renewed in 1928. This project spanned the years 1927 through 1932. The photographs date from this time period and show areas of Roanoke that, in the opinion of the Commission, needed improvement or were good examples for which the city should continue to strive. Though 129 4"x6" prints are included in the collection, only 69 are included in the digital collection, as there were many duplicates. A number of the photographs are included in John Nolen's Comprehensive Plan, City of Roanoke, 1928.

City Planning Commission
Description
An account of the resource
Photographs in this collection were produced for the 1928 City Planning Commission, which drew upon the 1907 Remodeling Roanoke: Report to the Committee on Civic Improvement by John Nolen, Landscape Architect from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 1907 published plan saw little action from the city and was renewed in 1928. This project spanned the years 1927 through 1932. The photographs date from this time period and show areas of Roanoke that, in the opinion of the Commission, needed improvement or were good examples for which the city should continue to strive. Though 129 4"x6" prints are included in the collection, only 69 are included in the digital collection, as there were many duplicates. A number of the photographs are included in John Nolen's Comprehensive Plan, City of Roanoke, 1928.

City Planning Commission
Description
An account of the resource
Photographs in this collection were produced for the 1928 City Planning Commission, which drew upon the 1907 Remodeling Roanoke: Report to the Committee on Civic Improvement by John Nolen, Landscape Architect from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 1907 published plan saw little action from the city and was renewed in 1928. This project spanned the years 1927 through 1932. The photographs date from this time period and show areas of Roanoke that, in the opinion of the Commission, needed improvement or were good examples for which the city should continue to strive. Though 129 4"x6" prints are included in the collection, only 69 are included in the digital collection, as there were many duplicates. A number of the photographs are included in John Nolen's Comprehensive Plan, City of Roanoke, 1928.
