    Hoosier Family Album  
 

When first developed, photography was practiced largely by professional photographers. As evolving technology made it possible for the average Hoosier to own a camera, the subject matter of photographs became much broader. This exhibit examines how photography has been used to document everyday occurrences in Hoosiers' lives, such as vacations, holidays, education, religion, work, and romance. Some of the scenes represented in the exhibit are children in a Hartford City parade, a group of Brookville cyclists readying for a country ride, the Greenfield baseball team preparing for a game around 1918 and Christmas stockings hung by the chimney with care in an Indianapolis Woodruff Place home.


Requires an 8-foot table for tabletop display.
