Dallin Aerial Survey Company collections

About this collection

    This digital collection includes more than 7,800 images from Hagley Library's Dallin Aerial Survey Company photographs (Accession 1970.200) collection. The company specialized in aerial images of factories, private estates, schools, country clubs, towns, airports, rivers, and many other sites and some news events of the day. The majority of the photographs concentrate on the Mid-Atlantic region covering a period from 1924 to 1939 although Dallin did make trips to other locales within the United States. This digital collection also includes material from the Colonel J. Victor Dallin films (Accession 2018.226) collection.
