The George S. Bolster Image Collection

The George S. Bolster Collection contains about 325,000 negatives of photographs taken in Saratoga Springs, New York. Most of the approximately 60,000 negatives in the photography series that George Bolster (1913–1989) called “Old Saratoga” were made between 1900 and 1960, primarily by Harry B. Settle. Other well-known photographers, such as Jesse S. Wooley, Gustave Lorey, Seneca Ray Stoddard, C.C. Cook, and H.C. Ashby are also represented in “Old Saratoga.”
