- Description:
- A 100-image slide show prepared by Helen Jacobson, using slides her husband Harold duplicated from older glass slides of unknown origin as well as some from the Leavenworth Studios. Harold Jacobson was a teacher in the Lansing Schools as well as Principal at West Junior High School; the slide show was likely prepared for instructional use in the schools. There is a script with numbers that correspond to the slides; the handwriting is not clear but it has been transcribed and a PDF is attached. The slide set includes an additional seven color images of the fire at Plymouth Congregational Church, February 25, 1971. The main slide set is of images already common in other photograph collections such as Edmonds or CADL's main Local History Photograph collection, but sources are not identified. All have been scanned.
