I am trying to find out if anyone can tell me where I might find information on a photographer who operated in Niles, Michigan.

Hi James,

The best person to contact about Michigan photographers is Dave Tinder. He's about to publish a directory of early Michigan photographers.

David V. Tinder
19230 Ford Rd
Dearborn, MI 48128-2000
(313) 593-1542

I can't find his e-mail address, but you might contact the Michigan Photographic Historical Society at
secretary@miphs.org to see if they have it.

Based on the style, I date your image at ca. 1875-1880. The George Eastman House database lists Ives as working from the 1870s-1890s.

Thanks Joan,
The info you gave me will be helpful. Is the George Eastman House data base available on line or do you have to visit the museum?

Go to http://www.geh.org/gehdata.html, click on "Telnet to vax.geh.org" and follow the directions. It is a little difficult and it is case sensitive. Good luck.
