Glass plate negatives taken by Charles A. Smith through a Kodak Eastman shop, previously known as Straight Arrow. The collection includes negatives of portraits, farm life, and the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 in Chicago, Illinois and a very small number of images from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri. Collection also contains glass plates of Smith's travels across the central United States and in the Salt Lake, Utah area.
