Joel Conway Photo Collection

Joel Conway was a collector of many things including huge collections of photos and negatives from closed photography studios.

SBCGS received about 900 glass plate negatives from his estate. These were digitized and are posted here.

The only identification is the name of the person who hired the photographer which may not be the same as the subject of the photograph.
