Photo Baltimore ’77 photograph collection

The Collection is broken down into seven series. The first six series are organized by photographer. Each has three subseries organized by format in rough chronological order: Photographic Prints; Negatives; and Contact Sheets. Series VII contains matted prints from all six of the photographers used in the 1978 BCLM exhibit.

The Peale Museum assigned ID numbers to the more than 150 prints with the prefix “PC” followed by five digits beginning with 30000. Negatives and matted prints were not assigned numbers. MdHS assigned ID numbers to these, retaining the BCLM numbering system, beginning with number 40000 and continuing to 56118.

The more than 16,000 negatives are in 35mm or 120mm format. Contact Sheets were created for most of the negatives. The prints, almost all 8x10, correspond to negatives in the collection.

Series include:

Series I: Max Araujo

Series II: Debbra Cleveland

Series III: R. Thomas Gregory

Series IV: David Lavine

Series V: Curtis Martin

This series contains no negatives. They may be missing or may have been retained by the photographer. Contact Prints have not been numbered for this series. Series VI: Susan Tobin

Series VII: Exhibit Prints

This series consists of matted photographs used in BCLM’s 1978 exhibit for the project. Most are unidentified by photographer. Most, but not all, are duplicates of images found in Series I – VI.
