Photographs from the case files of James Rodney Wood, Jr., 1908-1939

The bulk of the materials, which make up Subseries A, were previously housed as volumes thirteen and fourteen. Comprised of over 170 photographs, the volumes offer visual documentation to the crimes and criminals investigated. Please note, this series includes graphic images of crime scenes including images of murder victims. The presence of these images is noted with each folder/photograph in the list below.

Every effort has been made to preserve the information that the original method of housing provided. The photographs remain in the order in which they were found with the exception of select recognizable photos that have been restored to what is believed to be their original order. The headings denoting case or subject replicate the original paper sheet, which separated the photographs. These dividers can be found within the first folder of box eight.

The photographs of volumes thirteen and fourteen remain mounted to the cloth backing material that was used for support within the two ring, leather covered binders. The average size of the photographs is approximately 8 x 10 inches.

The remaining photographic material, which forms Subseries B, is comprised of photo-portraits of staff members of the Wood Detective agency, unidentified individuals and police officials.
