Salida Museum Collection
This collection of images, histories, and ephemera is part of the Salida Museum Collection. Included in the collection are a trove of negatives that were gifted to the museum by Tom Rampton in the early 1970s. Tom owned the Photo Image Studio at 229 F Street (formerly the Morris Photo Studio, and formerly the Hay Studio). In 1973, the studio moved across the street to 212 F. The photo collections that were a part of all of the studios located at 229 F were then donated to the Salida Museum.
The Museum gifted these negatives to the Salida Library in December 2018. The images can be dated back to the 1880s up into the 1960s. Most of the following images are reproduced from negatives.

The following thirteen images were scanned by Tim Brown from negatives donated to the Museum. They date to 1903, and include several bird’s eye views of Salida, some street views, and a somewhat damaged image of Turret. All are presumed to be the work of Newell Meigs.
