The Elizabeth Wood Albums consist of five photograph albums containing a total of 433 photographs. The albums appear to have belonged to Elizabeth M. Wood and include photographs by Wood as well as by Goetze, F.H. Nowell, B.B. Dobbs, and A.L. Bell. The photographs were taken in northwestern Alaska including the Seward Peninsula, Nome, Teller, and Cape Prince of Wales. Images include well known personalities such as Roald Amundsen, Sinrock Mary, and Fridtjoff Nansen. Other images include early reindeer herding, Revenue Cutter ships, the 1905 Nome fire, Inupiaq and commercial whaling activities, town and village scenes, and many individual and group portraits of Inupiaq people. The albums document the daily lives of both the indigenous people and early white settlers in the Seward Peninsula region and the commercial and subsistence activities by which they made their living.
