Ypsilanti Area photographic negative collection

 Collection
Identifier: 018.YA

Abstract

The Ypsilanti Area photographic negative collection includes 35mm film taken between 1977 and 1985. The provenance of the collection is unknown, so while most of the negatives indicated an event and event date, the photographer and motivation for taking the images are unknown. Events documented in the collection are a mix of town/gown with the majority of events documenting the Ypsilanti community. 1981 and 1985 are the most extensively photographed. Negatives are arranged chronologically.
