Negatives and digitized nitrate negatives corresponding to the photographs in the Photographs Included in the ROAD Database Series and the Photographs NOT Included in the ROAD Database Series are found here. The series is divided into Glass Plate Negatives and Film Negatives, and follow a chronological order where possible. In general, boxes NN1-NN43 contain negatives from those photographs included in ROAD, and boxes NN43-NN87 contain negatives from those photographs NOT included in the ROAD database. However, a few negatives in boxes NN-NN43 are missing corresponding photographs for documentation in the ROAD database.
Original nitrate negatives were digitized and deaccessioned in July 2026. Digital access copies are available.
