About this Collection
The Frank and Frances Carpenter Collection consists of photographs produced and gathered by Frank G. Carpenter (1855-1924) and his daughter Frances (1890-1972) to illustrate his writings on travel and world geography. Carpenter's works helped popularize cultural anthropology and geography in the early years of the twentieth century. The portion of the collection that is cataloged online represents photographs for which copy negatives or digital files exist. This represents a small cross-section of the collection, which consists of an estimated 5,400 photographs in albums; 10,400 photographs not in albums; and 7,000 glass and film negatives.
