Collection Number:	Archives_GP-SMITH
Provenance:	The Frank W. Smith Collection came to Special Collections as part of the South Shore Community Collection. The Smith slides were at that time intermixed with slides now cataloged as the glass plate photographs of the South Shore Community Collection. Because of the city-wide scope of the Smith slides, they were separated from those concerning the South Shore (which did not appear to have originated with Smith), and once again form a distinct collection.

Biographical Note

Frank W. Smith was a banker and Chicago history enthusiast, born in Chicago on May 19, 1849, just twelve years after the city incorporated. He began his career working in the family business, Smith Brothers, wholesale grocers on South Water Street. After the company was destroyed in the Chicago Fire of 1871, he turned to banking and was long associated with the Corn Exchange National Bank. Smith Married Dora Hadden in 1873. They had three children: Fannie, Osborn and Ethel.

Smith had a strong interest in Chicago history. He accumulated a large collection of glass slides and gave illustrated talks about the city. "His lectures have at times constituted the force that has called to life the memories of the earlier settlers, while the younger Chicago has listened spellbound to his stories of the early days."

Scope and Content

This collection consists of an initial accession and eleven supplements.

Nearly all of the glass plates bear a paper label reading "Frank W. Smith, 5539 Cornell Avenue, Chicago." It is presumed that Smith processed the transparencies himself from original earlier images—daguerreotypes, cabinet photos, and other types of photography. Still other glass plates Smith apparently acquired from other sources ready-made, such sources including the Chicago Transparency Company, and the A.G. McGregor Company, whose labels appear on those plates.

Smith intended his plates to be used for presentations, as seen by slides #1, 2, and 706, which are introduction and conclusion slides.

The slides cover a broad spectrum of Chicago history. For the purposes of cataloging, they have been divided into the categories common to most Neighborhood History Research Collections: Business Establishments, Religious Institutions, Clubs/Organizations, Historical Sketches, Hospitals, Miscellaneous, Municipal Agencies, Parks, Portrait/Family Photos, Residences, Schools, Streets, and Transportation. In addition, a series of World’s Columbian Exposition plates has been maintained as part of the Smith Collection rather than being transferred to the general WCE collection of the Division. The Portraits section, comprising 313 slides, is the largest. Many of these are photos of the Smiths and the allied families of Jocelyn and Wait.

On plates 458 through 491 are multiple portraits (and in many cases biographical sketches) of Chicago citizenry. These have been cataloged under the titles "Famous Chicagoans," "Old Settlers" and "Chicago Residents." Photos on each plate, where identifiable, have been individually cataloged and names appear alphabetically in the "Portraits/Family Photos" section of the Neighborhood History Research Collection Photo File card catalog. However, these names do not appear in the list of slides below.

Identification of slides is by Smith.

While there are 706 cataloged images, duplicates of various slides bring the total number of slides to 784.

Mr. Smith used slides he had acquired from other sources, and it is impossible to prove that all slides in the Smith Collection were actually owned by Smith. Thus, the Smith Collection serves as a growing file of Chicago-history glass plates. Plates numbered after 706 are understood to be supplements to the collection.

Supplement 1 : Slides 707 – 710

Slides numbered 707, 708 and 709 were received as a gift from Cathy Koves, Billy Graham Center Museum, Wheaton, Illinois. They were originally made by a glass slide company that in 1922 was located at 6 East Lake Street, Chicago.

Slide number 710 is a Frank W. Smith photograph, which was not found until the original collection had been fully cataloged. Cards for all of the slides in Supplement 1 have been added to the appropriate subject location in the Neighborhood History Research Collection Photo File catalog.

Supplement 2 : Slide 711

Slide 711, a portrait photo (negative) of an unidentified late Victorian couple, was transferred to the Smith Collection from the collections of the West Side Historical Society.

Supplement 3 : Slides 712 – 787

Each slide bears a label identifying it as Chicago Public Library material. Slides which duplicated previous Smith slides were added to the original set as "Copy 2." Most of these images, however, were not found in the already cataloged material. The slides are strongest in Business, Religious Institutions, and Municipal Agencies, with smatterings in other topical areas.

Supplement 4 : Slides 788 – 932

These slides may be part of the Albert W. Swayne Collection. Mr. Swayne donated a collection of lantern slides to CPL about 1934; it was deposited in the Art Department, and the slides were open to circulation among library patrons. By the 1950s, use of lantern slides had declined dramatically, according to the 1956 annual report. Circulation had taken a toll on the physical condition of the slides. As a result, in 1956 about 75 percent of the collection was discarded and the remaining "about 200" slides—principally views of Chicago—were retained for reference use only in the Social Science Division. In 1977, this remnant was transferred to Special Collections.

About 160 slides were cataloged for the Smith Collection from the 270 mentioned above, either as the 145 new images represented by Smith numbers 788 to 932, duplicates of those images, or duplicates of various images cataloged earlier as Smith numbers 1 to 787. Of the remainder, 84 slides were given to the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College (see Separation Record below) and some are to be deaccessioned.

Supplement 5 : Slides 933 – 971

These slides depict a variety of personal and business scenes from circa 1900-1920. It cannot be proven that they are even of Chicago, but their value lies in the honest and often charming view they impart of early twentieth-century American life. Of particular note are the restaurant interior (#937) complete with posted menu; the river baptism scenes (#938); the photos of women at work and in relaxation (#949-961) and the Thanksgiving dinner (#962).

The slides in this supplement are all glass negatives. In 1983 they were donated to the Garfield Ridge Branch Library by Howard M. Ewert, who found them in a south-side basement during renovation. Mr. Ewert had no knowledge of the slides’ provenance prior to that time. They were transferred from Garfield Ridge to Special Collections in September, 1983. All identifications are from the slides themselves or supplied by the archivist.

Supplement 6 : Slides 972 – 974

These three slides were among a set of pictorial images given by Mr. P.H. Sloan to the West Side Historical Society. They were unidentified at the time they were received into the Special Collections Department of Chicago Public Library. Identifications have been supplied by Special Collections. April 1989.

Supplement 7 : Slides 975 – 986

These twelve slides are part of a set of 111 glass plate negatives, lantern slides and emulsion negatives originally accessioned as part of the West Side Historical Society collection. Items in this set that could be definitively linked to a particular neighborhood are cataloged as a/v materials in those neighborhood collections. The glass plates which were minimally identified, or which had Chicago city-wide significance, have been added to the Smith Collection. April 1989.

Supplement 8 : Slides 987 – 1044

The slides in this supplement are among those collected by the Historical Society of Woodlawn. They were originally cataloged as part of the HSW collection, but have been transferred to the Smith Collection. Other slides owned by the HSW have been deaccessioned—see statement in the guide to the HSW collection. These slides concern Chicago parks (#987-1038), particularly many scenes of Jackson Park, and Civil War (#1039-1044). May 1989.

Supplement 9 : Slides 1045 – 1051

These seven slides came from a box of about 400 slides found in a box in Special Collections. Their provenance is unknown. Most of the slides, being of unidentified scenes or pages from various books of poetry, were discarded. January 1990.

Supplement 10 : Slides 1052 – 1057

These six slides appear to have come from the collections of the West Side Historical Society. They consist of four views of park scenes, and two street scenes. February 1990.

Supplement 11 : Slide 1058

This colored slide is of a farmhouse reputed to have been the "Girard House Tavern" at 133rd and Indiana Avenue. It was found in a box of other slides all dated between 1895 and 1899, although this particular slide is not dated. It was the gift of Carl Warachowski, 1992. June 1992.
