Several photos are from Everett and were taken at Transylvania University. There are also photos from a trip to Chicago around the same time period. In 1979 the collection was copied and returned to the donor. In 2007 the original photos were donated to EKU. There are several images that have copy prints made in 1979, but the original photograph is no longer available.
