This project was funded by the Hess and Helyn Kline Foundation and the Town of Orleans Community Preservation Committee.
Snow Library owns approximately 750 glass plate negatives of photographs taken between 1887-1905 by H.K. Cummings. Snow Library plans to preserve and share the collection of H.K. Cummings and the images which are included here are the first step in that process.
Four exhibits of selected photographs of H .K. Cummings have been presented at Snow Library and books were produced for these exhibits. They are:
H.K. Cummings Revisited.
H.K. Cummings Revisited, Part II: Working.
H.K. Cummings Revisited, Part III: Houses.
H.K. Cummings Revisited, Part IV: Theresa Austin Paine Cummings and Friends.
The books may be purchased at Snow Library. The full collection of photographs may be viewed at the library and prints may be ordered. There is a $50.00 charge for the use of Cummings photos in commercial publications.
The preservation of the H.K. Cummings collection has been funded by the Hess and Helyn Kline Foundation and the Community Preservation Committee of the Town of Orleans. We are grateful for their support and hope to add more images from the library’s collection of H.K. Cummings photographs in the future.
