Everett Block's Notebook

The notebook used by Everett Block has a listing for each of the intact glass negatives found in the Thompson House. Block used colored tabs to separate the notebook into sections. Each section was devoted to a range of glass negatives. Any information he was able to obtain on the images is written next to its number. For some photographs, he was able to collect a lot of information on the photograph, such as locations, dates or names of the people posing; others were left blank. Additional information he gathered in interviews is included in another section. Drawings at the end of the notebook show the different shapes, windows, doors, chimneys and shutters on the houses in the negatives. Prior to the pictures being printed, Everett used these drawings to try and locate the various houses seen in the glass negative photographs.
