2 Content Description The Frank Patterson Photographic Postcards consist of images made by Frank Patterson depicting natural features, tourist sites, and highways in Oregon and northern California. The bulk of the images are photographic postcards which were produced en masse for purchase by travelers and tourists. The collection includes a checklist of Patterson images prepared by Robert I. Wright in the mid-1980s. This assemblage of Patterson images was collected by Gerald W. Williams. The Patterson Photographic Postcards provide extensive documentation of natural features in southern Oregon and northern California including Crater Lake, the Oregon Caves, the Rogue River, Diamond Lake, the Oregon Coast, Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, and the redwoods. Numerous views of towns in Oregon (Medford, Ashland, Roseburg, Grants Pass, and Klamath Falls) and in California (Arcata, Crescent City, Eureka, Redding, Ukiah, and Santa Rosa) are part of the collection. Photographs of tourist highways and bridges on the Oregon coast and through the redwoods of southern Oregon and northern California depict these structures near the time of their development and construction. Most of the images are undated, but were likely taken by Patterson during the 1920s and 1930s when he was working from studios in Medford, Oregon, and Santa Rosa, California. It is possible that some of the images dated in the 1940s were made by other photographers under Patterson's imprint. The titles provided for each image are taken from the item or Wright's checklist. The item numbers were assigned by Patterson. While the bulk of the collection consists of photographic postcards, there are several photographic prints and ephemeral items in Series 2. About 20% of the images and Wright's checklist are available online in the Frank Patterson Photographs digital collection.
