Nassau, Cuba, and Deal, New Jersey Photograph Albums, 1920 2.00 Linear Feet

Four photograph albums depicting travel and scenes of Nassau, Havana, Cuba, and Deal Beach, New Jersey where the photographer owned a cottage circa 1920's. Each photograph is described in a few words on a label affixed under the picture. Most of the pictures have a woman dressed in typical white dress smiling for the camera. A few photographs have her labeled as Mrs. Fitch but no other indication is given of her name. It is clear, however, that she is the focus of the albums. Nassau pictures feature local children diving for coins and Bahamians in their living conditions in Nassau. Of note in Nassau are photographs of a large silk cotton tree, Bay Street, the Colonial Hotel, Higgs Bathing Beach, Fox Hill, and Shirley Street. Havana scenes the Road of Royal Palms, Barlow Cottage, Morro Castle. Deal Beach photographs feature the a cottage near the beach and pictures of a women posing outside the Deal Casino.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
