Subseries III.B. Photographs, 1867-1999

Photographs and/or negatives were produced and organized by various employees during their tenures at USDA. Lawrence Avery, the Beltsville Parasitological Laboratory's first administrative officer (1929 to1945) took photographs during the construction of the laboratory and its associated buildings. Robert G. Leek supplied images of the laboratory before, during, and after its move to the Animal Disease Station area of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (1957 to1961). Some of these images were used in various films produced by the Animal Parasite Institute and in publications on the history of parasite work written by John S. Andrews. Photograph folders may contain an assortment of photographs related to the Animal Parasitology Institute, or may be labeled for specific buildings, laboratories, or staff members. Some folders contain duplicates. Folders are arranged in chronological order or approximate time period.
