Description
Items in this collection were digitized from the Keeneland Photograph Album Collection. The collection, featuring print photographs of racing, track scenes, horses, and the people associated with Thoroughbred racing in the Keeneland locality, consists of 15 leather bound scrapbooks with handwritten descriptions for most of the print photographs. Although the photographers are not identified, many of the photographs were likely taken by Brownie Leach, H.C. Ashby, and Joel Clyne Meadors.
Seven of the albums (12”x 18”) span a 10-year range each from 1935 to 2005; one album (12”x 18”) is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Keeneland in 1984; one album (10”x 13”) covers 1961; and six albums (18”x 30”) cover 1935 to 1940, 1944 to 1950, and 1951 to 1960.
