Portrait file collection

About this collection

    Hagley Library's Portrait file (Accession 1970.182) is an artificial collection composed almost entirely of photographic reproductions and copy negatives, with very few original prints. The vast majority of the images are copies made from portraits in various collections, primarily from the Hagley Museum and Library holdings. Some photographs are copies made from original sources not in Hagley's holdings.
    The Portrait file is intended to be a resource to assist in locating images of individuals. The collection contains photographic reproductions and negatives that are useful as biographical reference tools. More than half of the collection depicts du Pont family members or those associated with the du Pont family.
