Idaho Statesman Negative Index – Library Projects Boise State University

The Idaho Statesman Negatives collection includes over 70,000 envelopes of negatives, perhaps millions of individual images, taken by photographers of the Idaho Statesman newspaper. The indexed portion ranges from roughly 1950 to 2000, with gaps for some years.

The Idaho Statesman Negative index is an inventory and descriptions of negatives; there are no digital files. The collection is open to the public; see our guidelines on using the collections. To use the collection:

Search the index (Description, Names, and Date are the most relevant fields)
Each line represents one envelope of negatives, which may contain up to dozens of images
Use the save tools (right) to export the list in preferred format [Note: export includes only what is on the screen, change to “show all results” to export entire list]
Review guidelines for using the collection and/or ordering scanned images. Email or bring your list of envelopes to begin the selection process. Note: the selection process can take several hours, depending on the amount of envelopes requested.
Once photos are selected, please work with Special Collections and Archives staff to determine appropriate use or publishing permission requirements. The Idaho Statesman retains copyright to all images.
