Scope and Contents

This collection was purchased from local photograph dealer and collector Bill Lee in October of 1987. It was initially processed at that time, and was reprocessed in June of 1991.

As a purchase, this in an "artificial" collection that may be added to if other Carbutt photographs are purchased or received. The collection was arranged according to the original stereograph series numbers, so it can be added to easily; also, the original captions were used. The stereos are generally in good condition, but have suffered fading typical of albumen prints of that time period.
