The Dutch Girl Album

This archive contains scans of photos contained in the "Dutch Girl" Huwaldt Family Photo Album. These photos date from the mid-19th to the early-20th Century and the originals are kept by Susan K. (Huwaldt) Wattier. Most of the individuals in the photos have not been identified at this time. If you have information about anyone pictured in this archive, please contact Joe Huwaldt or Susan Wattier using the contact information below. We'd love to hear about it!

This archive was prepared in such a way as to preserve as much information in the original photos as possible. The images were each carefully removed from the album pages and scanned at 600 dpi (suitable for "photo-quality" color prints). The images were generally cropped to the edge of the card the photo was mounted on in order to preserve information about the photographer, if present, and the style of the card the photo is held in. No other "enhancements" were made to the scanned images: they were not color corrected, were not sharpened, or touched up in any way. Finally, the images were saved in TIFF format with LZW compression (IBM PC byte ordering). This is a lossless file format that can be read by a wide range of programs, but results in large file sizes. The original images, held by Joe Huwaldt and Susan Wattier on CD-ROM were then converted to JPEG for creating this web archive. If you want access to the original scans, please let us know.

The photos are named and ordered according to the order that they appeared in the original album. The file names for the images use the following convention: "a2p10as1.jpg" means album #2 (the Dutch Girl Album, #1 is the Blue Album), page 10, photo "a" (a, b, c, or d for multiple photos per page), side 1, JPEG format. In addition, some images are named as follows: "a1l10.jpg". This means album #1, loose (not attached to a page), loose image #10, JPEG format.
