Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Arthur and Emma Krause photograph collection consists of 1 box containing 470 black-and-white and color photographs dating from 1912 to 1979, with the bulk of the photographs dating from 1939 to 1960. Folders 1-4 consist of pages removed from scrapbooks or albums and primarily depict the Krauses and their acquaintances in Germany during World War II and the postwar years. Pages were removed from their binders for preservation but the original order of the scrapbooks was retained, with one folder containing pages from one album and given the name of the scrapbook applied by the Krauses. Folders 5-6 contain loose photograph prints and primarily depict the Krause's lives after their emigration to the United States. Both people and places are well identified by the Krauses.

Folders 1-3 contain black-and-white photographs affixed to black paper; the photograph pages are interspersed with pages of captions typewritten on white paper in German and English by Arthur Krause. Folder 1 "Die KriegsJahre" [The War Years] contains images dating from 1939 through 1945 depicting Arthur Krause's service to the Germany military during World War II. Folder 2 “Auf Ein Neues” contains images dating from 1945 to 1952 taken primarily in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Images depict Arthur and Emma Krause with friends and with other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Kiel engaging in Church gatherings and religious practices. Folder 3 "Bekanntenkreis" contains several photographs dating from before World War II, but the bulk of the images depict the Krause’s friends and fellow Church members in Kiel, including photographs and cards of missionaries. Folder 4 contains the photograph pages of a scrapbook depicting Emma Krause's life, presumably compiled by Emma Krause, dating from approximately 1912-1950. Pages without images are held in the Arthur and Emma Krause papers (ACCN 1769) in the Manuscripts Division of Special Collections.
