Charles Weever Cushman, amateur photographer and Indiana University alumnus, bequeathed approximately 14,500 Kodachrome color slides to his alma mater.
The photographs in the collection bridge a thirty-two year span from 1938 to 1969, during which time he extensively documented the United States as well as other countries.
Below are some of my personal favorites. I was inspired to pass along these photos from this recent online post about his 1940's New York City photos. AMAZING! I copied the NYC photos after the jump for your enjoyment.
