Scope and Contents
This series contains 31 nitrate negatives that were probably shot by Ralph Aspaas (1876-1939), while presumably traveling the United States southwest region circa 1907-1915. The images may have also been shot by Ralph's brother Hans Aspaas (1873-1968). The photographs in this series depict Ralph Aspaas, his wife Allie Ward Aspaas (1881-1959), and possibly their children including Ralph Ward Aspaas (1906-1972), Carl Henry Aspaas (1908-1975), Max Herndon Aspaas (1911-1971) and Ella Annetta Aspaas (b. 1913), and other unidentified individuals. The photos were shot in Colorado, Utah, and other unidentified locations. Photographs of note include images shot on the Aspaas Ranch in Breen, Colo.
