Scope and Content

Photographic prints, negatives, and manuscript and printed materials documenting the work of the City Photographer division of the Equipment, Communications, and Information Services Department of the City of Dallas.

The role of the City Photographer was to document city services, assist with public information projects, create evidentiary exhibits for the Office of the City Attorney, provide images for official city publications, and document significant events and occasions in city government.

The City Photographer division was created in 1946 and was originally a part of the Personnel Department. Later it became a part of Building Services. The first photographer and lab manager was C. D. Bayne, who worked from 1946 until his retirement in 1975. The second manager was Frank Branger. The first processing and printing lab was located at Emil Fretz Park but later moved several times, ultimately locating at 1500 Mockingbird Lane and then at City Hall.

Other photographers on staff included C. R. Schupbach, Anthony Giuffrida, James Crittenden, Jim Ashford, and Robert Cabello. The position of City Photographer was last administered under the Department of Equipment, later Equipment, Communications, and Information Services (ECI) and was eliminated in 1989.

The bulk of the collection contains prints and negatives from 1973 to 1989; although, there are several prints from 1950-1962 and a legal series of negatives and some prints extending from 1962 to 1984. Fewer than fifty prints from 1990 to 2001 were added to the collection after the City Photographer role ceased to exist. The collection contains 8x10, 5x7, 3x5, and contact photographic prints, and transparencies and negatives in 35mm, 120mm, and 4x5 formats.

Organization

The collection contains chronologically and includes both prints and negatives. The folders are arranged by negative number when numbers are available. Negatives related to legal issues are organized into their own series.

The collection also manuscripts and oversized materials.
