Photographic negatives of state canal sites and structures
Series Number
B1422
Summary
The series consists of film (nitrate) negatives of canal sites and structures which represent the first general use of photography by the state's canal departments. The negatives were apparently prepared as part of a systematic documentation of structural problems with the canal, especially in the eastern division. The images are vital to the interpretation of the foundation materials and construction used for support of canal structures, especially at Schoharie Crossing.
