VIEWS OF THE PAST

The Boutrell collection consisted of hundreds of original photographs. Harry Boutrell of Marquette started his photo albums in 1913 at Ishpeming High School, then at Northern Normal. Boutrell became a radio operator on the freighter Harry Coulby in the 1920's. Harry using large format cameras took many photographs, from all over the Great Lakes. He then became a professional photographer on several ocean liners, taking photos on the ship and at every port around the world.
