This bag is an example of the way Rudolph Farmer filed his negatives. Each negative (sometimes more than one) was put in a small paper bag and many were labeled with information importaty to him (unfortunately not all photos have even this level of identification). The information is often not very helpful now in identifying photographs however but it does often times give a little insight as to what and who the photographs might have been. Occasionally the bags were reused and information from previous uses were somewhat crossed out. From studio portraiture to candid shots around Pulaski County, Virginia, the Farmer Photograph Collection shows the people and daily life in and around Pulaski County, Virginia in the 1945-1995 timeframe.
