  • Agave in a field "Colorado. Undated"
    Photograph of an open field taken in Colorado. Short grass and agave plants can be seen in the field. Mountains rise in the background. Jefferson would often use the same negative to create a lantern slide as well as a mounted stereographic card. When possible we have indicated if it is a repeat image, however this is not always the case. As such, there may be a corresponding digitized glass lantern slide, and a mounted stereographic card associated with this stereographic negative within the Mark Jefferson Collection.

  • Alabama. Tuskegee. Loafers at courthouse door
    Men standing around the entrance to the courthouse in Tuskegee, Alabama. Referred to as "loafers," the men are sitting in wooden spindle backed chairs and standing in the main entrance way of the courthouse. They are all wearing suit jacket and bowler hats. The building appears to be in some disrepair due to window panes missing above the doorway and piles of stone around the foundation of the structure. Slide labeled with text, "Made by G.R.

  • Albert, Roy I.
    (Newspaper Article from January 3, 1945): Roy Irving Albert, 20, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Albert, 312 Saginaw, has been missing in action in Germany since December 12, his parents were told in a telegram from the War Department received yesterday noon. Overseas since September, he served as a gunner in an Infantry Division believed to be attached to the Third Army. His parents know that he participated in at least three battles prior to the one in which he was reported missing. In his last letter, dated Dec. 3, he wrote that he was living in a cellar in France, waiting to be sent out again. A graduate of Norway High, Albert was a pre-med student at the University of Michigan when he was inducted March 15, 1943. He received his basic training as a rifleman in the Infantry at Camp Roberts, California, following which, as the result of an aptitude test, he was selected to attend the University of New York as an engineering student in the ASTP program. During his training period in the states, Albert tried to get into the Air Corps. With this in mind, he dropped his studies as an ASTP student. After serving in various camps, he was notified last summer that his transfer into the Air Corps was approved. A month after he arrived at the Balden Air Base in Mississippi for his Air Corps training, the Aviation Cadets were discontinued, and he was sent back to the Infantry. He was last home on furlough in June. Albert's parents were notified in a letter written May 9, 1945 that he had been liberated and was safe in Germany.

  • Alexander Music Building
    Construction was finished on the Alexander Music Building in 1980, and was named for Frederick M. Alexander who was the head of the Music Department from 1909-1941. The entire building was designed with the needs of the music department in mind, consisting of 86,000 sqft. with practice rooms, an organ recital room, and a large recital hall containing a stage and seating for 150 people. Unique features of the building include instrument repair rooms containing equipment to re-plate brass instruments. Special resilient caulking and sealant were used in place of a traditional mortar to ensure that sound would not be transmitted throughout the structure. Since solid walls tend to transmit sound vibrations like a tuning fork, solid walls were broken up, and practice and recital rooms were designed with non-parallel walls.
  • Alida Westman, Oral History Interview, 2019
    Alida Westman served as professor in the Department of Psychology from 1972 until her retirement in 2012. Born in The Hague, Holland, during World War II, and growing up in post-war Europe, Westman learned at an early age that certain cultural landscapes elicit specific reactions in human beings based on past trauma. As a result, the rest of her life was set by the age of four toward perception and research. After immigrating to the United States, Westman attended school in the Pacific Northwest and Cornell University, and landed at Eastern Michigan University as a professor in perception and comprehension studies. A supporter of the American Association of University Professors and member of countless academic committees during her career with EMU, Westman attained Emeritus status when she retired in 2012.

  • Allegan State Park. Big beech trees to south by southwest. All limbs face towards lake
    Large Beech trees in Allegan State Park in Allegan, Michigan. It is noted that all of the limbs of the trees face towards the lake, presumably because it was easier for their limbs to grow out over the water where they were not competing for space. A wooden fence row divides the trees from the lake to the right and smaller trees grow beside the tall Beech's. Slide labeled with text, "Made by G.R. Swain, 713 E.
