Subject: Theft of Photographs from the Lethbridge Public Library


 The Lethbridge Public Library has suffered the theft about approximately 50
portrait photographs of Native people. The photographs, taken by F.A.
Rinehart of Omaha, Nebraska are sepia-toned and approximately 11" x 14" in
size. They are all identified and signed by the photographer. They were cut
out of an album, and so may appear to have a brown matte. The photographs
date from about 1894.

 If anyone is approached with an offer to sell these photographs, a call to
Linda McElravey at the Lethbridge Public Library would be much appreciated.
Her telephone number is (403) 380-7312. Alternatively, you can send an
e-mail to Linda at [log in to unmask]

 Thanks for your help.
