Series Description

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this series contains photographic materials collected by Alfred Bader. Images of chemists make up the largest component of this series, many of which were published in Aldrich Chemical Company’s journal Aldrichimica Acta. A smaller, but noticeable, number of images of Alfred Bader himself are also found in this series. A photo album containing images of an unidentified function in the United Kingdom attended by Bader is also present here. Small numbers of images of other miscellaneous subjects, including, but not limited to, Aldrich Chemical Company and Sigma-Aldrich Corporation staff, artwork, and miscellaneous people are preserved in this series as well.

The contents of the Images files consist a variety of photographic materials. Black and white photographs are the most common items found in this series. A smaller, but noticeable, number of color photographs are also present in these files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous photographic materials, including black and white negatives, black and white slides, black and white transparencies, black and white photo reproductions, and color photo reproductions are preserved in this series as well.
