Scope and content
The Photograph Series is held in seven (7) boxes divided into subseries according to family members. Carl Engel, Charles F. Engel, A.W. Long, Milton Russell Dary, and David Dary’s subseries includes photos from both his career and personal life. His career photos include portraits of news reporters he worked with or knew; Dary’s own portrait, and photos from conferences/meetings/seminars. Photos from his personal life include those of his family and his home. The stereoviews (1880-1906) provide early views of Manhattan and the surrounding area including the family home and garden scenes. The subject series contains photos acquired by Dary and include notables such as Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman making “whistle stops” in Manhattan, Kansas. Modern family photos were instructed to be sent back to the family once processing was complete and are not included in the collection.
