SCOPE AND CONTENTS

Compiled by Christopher C. Andrews during his career as the state's chief fire warden and forestry commissioner, the photographs document forests and timber stands, lakes, rivers, and logging and lumbering activities throughout Minnesota. Areas of particular interest include Itasca State Park, Lake Superior Forest Reserve, Burntside State Park, Cass Lake, International Falls, and the White Earth, Leech Lake and Winnibigoshish Indian reservations. There are also several photographs taken near Missoula, Montana, and documenting a September 1908 Chisholm area forest fire. The major photographers identified are Andrews, A. B. Herrell, F. L. Hoxsie, and C. A. Schenck.

The main body of photographs, numbered 1-233, is denoted by the letter C. Three other groups, labeled X, A, or H, contain similar subjects, dates, and photographers. The X photographs, and possibly the A and H groups, were taken for the chief fire warden's annual reports. Gaps in the numbering system can be accounted for by the discard of duplicate images. Location names have neither been verified nor altered to reflect changes that may have occurred since 1909.
