This work serves as a systematic record of a significant photographic collection documenting various tribes of North American Indians. The photographs, taken over twenty-five years, encapsulate the distinct tribal characteristics, attire, and lifestyles of the individuals portrayed, representing a unique ethnological resource.  The opening of this catalogue provides a prefatory note, emphasizing the importance and uniqueness of the extensive photographic collection produced under the auspices of the United States Geological Survey. It describes the challenges faced in capturing images of the subjects due to their superstitious beliefs regarding photography and details the contribution of prominent figures, like the anthropologist William Blackmore, in assembling this archive. The initial pages describe the collection's scope, mentioning over a thousand negatives of more than twenty-five tribes, with the intent to authenticate and present the historical context of the subjects, thus creating a valuable contribution to the understanding of Indigenous American cultures.
