The Edyth Snyder Collection consists of 38 black-and-white photographs, cabinet photographs, and portraits of unidentified children and as well as a few group pictures, including a 1918 WWI-era photograph of what appears to be a local Czech group (Odbocka Narod Sdružení, loosely translated to “Branch of the People’s Association”) and two school group photos. This undated collection appears to be circa pre-1900 to ~1920.
