Daniel, Al Fred, Photograph Collection PI/1999.0001
The Daniel, Al Fred, Photograph Collection consists of 586 photographs from three studios managed by the Albert Frederick Daniel family in Jackson, Mississippi, as well as copy prints of other photographers' work. Most of the photographs were taken in Jackson, although there are groups of images of the tung oil industry in south Mississippi and Boy Scouts at campgrounds around the state. Other subjects include businesses, churches (interior and exterior), colleges, floods, hospitals, politicians, public buildings, schools, and street scenes. Of special interest are panoramic photographs of early floods in downtown Jackson, images of the Mississippi Farmers Market and the Farish Street business district, and multiple images of both the Old Capitol and the Mississippi State Capitol buildings.

Image Arrangement and Numbering
The photographic curator numbered the prints in the order they were received from Al Fred Daniel. Duplicate prints (made from the same negatives) were not scanned, so there are gaps in the image numbers.
Technical Details
Digital Photographs: The original scans of the Daniel (Al Fred) Photograph Collection were made by the Image & Sound Section staff in 2009-2010, according to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History Board of Trustees’ approved imaging procedures, following ANSI/AIIM recommended practice. The images were scanned as uncompressed, 24-bit RGB (for color prints) and 8-bit Grayscale (for black-and-white prints) TIFF files at 600 pixels per inch.
Conversion: For Web display, the original scans of the Daniel (Al Fred) Photograph Collection were converted to Zoomify JPEG images between 2009 and 2011.
