Bain Collection (photographs) These records are for digitized images from the photographic files of one of America's earliest news picture agencies. The collection richly documents sports events, theater, celebrities, crime, strikes, disasters, political activities including the woman suffrage campaign, conventions and public celebrations. The photographs Bain produced and gathered for distribution through his news service were worldwide in their coverage, but there was a special emphasis on life in New York City. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1900s to the mid-1920s, but scattered images can be found as early as the 1860s and as late as the 1930s. As of late 2004, approximately 11,000 glass negatives and 1,300 photographic prints for which copy negatives exist are available online. More images will be digitized and records added.
