Lawndale-Crawford Historical Association Records

The Lawndale-Crawford Historical Association prepared a lantern slide show of historical community images for presentations. Their glass plate slides were numbered 1 to 68. Photographic prints (8″ x 10″) were made for most of these images and numbered in accordance with the slides. Only 30 glass plate negatives are still available.

The slides and prints were cataloged as part of the Lawndale-Crawford Community Collection (LCCC) in 1983. The slides were reprocessed in 1990 to align with their corresponding prints. The following list references the LCCC Photograph number for each LCHS slide in the original order. A glass plate negative is available for items with an asterisk (*).
