Title A name given to the resource The Peter and Virginia Bancroft Collection of Vintage Photographs Description An account of the resource A collection of 580 daguerreotype, ambrotype, and tintype images taken between 1840-1880, the Peter and Virginia Bancroft Collection has as its emphasis the American experience during the Civil War. Images of both Confederate and Union soldiers, as well as men, women and children, are rare examples which date from the earliest years of photography. Many of the images are housed in extraordinary cases made of paper, leather, metal, mother of pearl, and other materials. The presentation of the images in their cases makes the collection a unique resource for the study of the history of photography. In addition, America’s journey westward in the mid-nineteenth century is chronicled in images of Western locations such as Bisbee and Tombstone (Arizona), Calico City (California), and the Chilkoot Pass in Alaska where the burgeoning mining industry is chronicled. Dataset Data encoded in a defined structure. Examples include lists, tables, and databases. A dataset may be useful for direct machine processing.
