Photos. Slides, 223 total including 35 glass slides. Images donated by the Towns family of GCI: family, friends, homes, landscapes, and seascapes taken over decades. Five slides imprinted 1958; four possibly SEP1974; one 1991. Several handwritten lists of people and places were included with donation but can no longer be tied to individual slides. All slides have been digitally scanned in high resolution (see 2000\photos\dorothy towns). The Towns family are summer residents on GCI. The Towns property is also known historically as the Bayview Farm, the Red House, and the Crosby farm. (The slides are stored in a binder, grouped by brand names and numbers imprinted on individual slides: Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Ansco Color, Pavelle, and Mercury, in hopes slide technology might date these slides. Glass slide projectors in use ca. 1930s-1950s. (See also collection of Towns slides ca. 1960s-70s in 2014.269.2005; and other Towns photos in collection.)
