This collection contains photographs originally belonging to Lillian and Ivar Hallquist-West. Though few of the photographs have marked dates on them, it is most likely that some of the photographs are from as early as the 1880’s. The photographs include baby and family photos, photos of a Hoquiam logging camp sometime in the 1890’s, navy photos, sports and classroom photos from what appears to be the public school in Parkland, and travel postcards.
