Scope and Contents: N19283-N19310; The Frank A. Rinehart images include portraits of American Indian delegates at the U.S. Indian Congress of the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition held in Omaha, Nebraska, between June 1 and October 31, 1898. During the Congress, Frank A. Rinehart (ca. 1862-1928) and/or his assistant Adolph F. Muhr (ca. 1858-1913) photographed more than 500 delegates and groups representing the estimated thirty-five tribes represented at the Exposition. The majority of the negatives in this collection were made by photographing two Rinehart prints side by side on 8x10 glass plate negatives. It is unclear when these negatives were made, though they were presented to the Museum of the American Indian by Imhof in 1930. The Museum later made copy negatives (acetate) of the individual images rather than the full glass plate. In these cases, the negatives were given "A" and "B" numbers.
