The Washington State Historical Society is digitizing a massive archive of 60,000 images by renowned photographer Asahel Curtis. Many of these precious negatives have been sitting in boxes for decades, seen only by a handful of people over the past 80 years. We delve into the archive to explore the fascinating places and faces of this magnificent collection, with images documenting life in the Pacific Northwest from the 1890s to the 1940s.
