Description

This collection contains photographs of early Boulder collected by John B. Schoolland, who used many photos in his book Boulder Then and Now. The collection includes views of early Boulder hotels, houses, people, fire-trucks, horse-drawn vehicles, automobiles, and the First Congregational Church. There is an uncatalogued envelope of snapshots, primarily views of central Boulder taken in 1978.

History

William E. Davis' book Glory Colorado! notes that Dr. John B. Schoolland was the director of the Counseling Service at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Schoolland was active in historical research about Boulder. He was instrumental in bringing Engine No. 30 to Central Park, and he wrote a pamphlet on the history of the Switzerland Trail of America railroad in the mountains of Boulder County.
