Photographs, circa 1920
This series contains black and white photographs of locomotives, railroad cars, construction and plantation scenes, shipping facilities, and areas in Havana. Some photographs have been isolated and assigned to Box 160; others are scattered throughout the collection, with large groupings appearing in Series 1, President's Correspondence, Boxes 10 (2 scrapbooks), 15, and 31. The majority of these materials can presently be utilized by researchers, with the exception of the roll of oversized photographs of plantations and railroads which will not be available until appropriate conservation treatment is complete.
