  • 0001-A64. Minor White photographing 1938. Minor White (1908-1976) moved to Portland, Oregon, after the summer of 1937. He formed a camera club at the YMCA where he lived. The club built a small darkroom and had an exhibit space in the lobby. This photo was taken during a group outing on the Clackamas River. The date is shortly before June 1938, which is when the photographer of this image, Lawrence Smith, dropped out of the camera club to be married. The camera is a Kodak Duo-620 Series II, a medium-format, scale-focus, folding camera introduced in June 1937. The attachment on the lens is a filter adapter ring with a Kodak lens shade. This is the earliest known image of Minor White photographing.

  • 9305-B7372. Indians fishing at Celilo Falls, September 1938. The cablecar line in the foreground was for a hand operated car that went from this spot on the Oregon riverbank to Chinook rock, which can be seen on the extreme left. Within two years this was replaced by a footbridge that would be reconstructed every year. This was the area that was most accessible to tourists, who were constantly walking around therocks buying fish and the low-hanging cable line was a hazard.

  • 9969-3805. Lombardy poplars at Northeast 58th Ave. and Couch St., Portland, Oregon. October 17, 1938. (Comments by Cathy Riddell: photos are looking north on NE 58th to Glisan. A lot of houses on the east side of the street were built in 1941 and 1942, so this is just before that. This is in front of Bill Naito's house - during the anti-Japanese hysteria after 12/7/41, as a high school sophomore, he went door-to-door on the street getting signatures on a petition to get permission to keep the families ceramics store open.) ("The photo is also interesting because Lombardy Poplars were such a popular street tree for such a long time. They were the trees originally planted in the Park blocks (along with the elms). They would grow to be 120' tall in 20 years - but invade pipes, buckle sidewalks, etc - and die young. Oh well - now you never see them - they're pretty much banned.")

  • Y-480418-24. Celilo Village longhouse, Feast of the First Salmon dinner. April 18, 1948. The purpose of this annual feast was to give thanks and welcome the first salmon to start the spring run up the Columbia River. With the beginning of each year's new salmon run, Celilo Indians could eat fresh fish instead of the dried salmon they preserved from the year before. Historically this was expected to be the second or third week of April, but the Indians would begin the celebration only after the fish actually appeared. Just the year before, in 1948, Chief Tommy Thompson had gone to the Warm Springs to invite all the Indians to Celilo for the feast on the weekend the fish were anticapated, but when the fish didn't run he had to postpone the ceremony for another week. And nine years before, in 1940, the feast was held on the first weekend of April, at the time it was said to be the earliest the feast had ever been held. Attendance had ranged from, according to newspaper reports, 47 Indians in 1938, rising to 600 at this one. The following year, in 1949, the feast was again postponed due to no fish. With the end of Celilo in the forseeable future, crowds continued to grow and finally, in 1956, at the last Feast of the First Salmon before the innundation, unseasonably warm weather in the late winter thawed the ice fields and Celilo falls flooded making fishing impossible. Celilo Indians were forced to buy 400 pounds of salmon on the commercial market in Portland to feed the crowd, which the newspaper reported as being comprised of "More white folks with cameras than Indian fishermen with dipnets." Ever since the falls were covered, the feast has been held at a pre-arranged time.
