Seattle rephotography

From UANotebook

For those interested in re-shooting locations based on archival photographs, take a look at the following photographs.

UW Libraries Special Collections division has several interesting collections:


Asahel Curtis Collection, Railroads and streetcars views


Frank La Roche Photographs, Seattle street scenes


James Patrick Lee Photographs -- you can search by various neighborhoods.


Seattle Photographs -- can also be searched by individual neighborhoods.


Calvin Todd Photographs -- many really pretty buildings.


A.C. Warner Photographs


The Seattle Municipal Archives also has a bunch of images. Go to the following page and, in the boxes, you can restrict your search by Time period and/or Neighborhood District.

If you are interested in doing this, we can set up some time(s) to meet so that we could decide on sets of images which you can then go out and re-shoot on your own.
