Scope and content
Photographs and negatives document Putnam, his family, the Department of Geography field trips and research field trips. Many photographs were taken by Putnam and later, his son Bob Putnam, for possible use in books.
There are photographs of Putnam and Lyman Chapman working in the field during the 1930s, Geography field trips with student through the 1940s and 1950s and of Canadian landscapes and geographical highlights photographed during various trips. There is also one group shot of the Geography Department taken in either the late 1950s or early 1960s.
Finally, there is one box of unidentified early negatives. These have yet to be processed but seem to be a mix of early family images 1910s and 20s and some documenting Putnam’s early field trips.
