These photographs have been collected by Rex Riley from a variety of sources. They are not a family collection. Where possible, we have grouped photos that appear to belong together, but these are, for the most part, educated guesses.
MHGS does not have the original prints of these photographs.
This is a collection of photographs of contemporary Sedgwick County, Kansas. Although they may be interesting or useful currently, they are primarily a gift from today's MHGS library volunteers to future volunteers who will be asked for photos of houses, buildings, events and activities from the "past." Researchers using these photos will have the advantage of knowing when and where the photos were taken, and by whom, along with a copyright license that expressly allows for non-commercial use (see below.)
These photographs were in the possession of a nun living at the convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Wichita, Kansas. It is believed that they relate to a Bernstein family from New Orleans.
These photographs and other items are part of the genealogical files collected by Marguerite Nixon Warner. Note: the numbers written on the back of many pictures are part of a identification system assigned by Mrs. Warner. The files are indexed in the MHGS catalog
Digital images of these items have been contributed to the MHGS Digital Collections by community members. For the most part, MHGS does not hold the physical originals.
These photographs are from a collection assembled by Mr. Miller over many years. This is not a family collection and the people in the photographs are not necessarily related to each other.
