Allison Meyer: HIST 697: Creating History in New Media

Image Assignment

The images of Ludwig Gerber and his family come from one of two sources: his autobiography, which includes photocopied pictures in with the text, and the papers of Elenore Gerber Kahans and Linda Kahans Tallis, which include numerous original family photographs and some photographically reproduced copies. These papers are now in the posession of Linda Tallis' daughter, and I am grateful for her willingness to let me digitize them and use them in this project.
