Collection Description
This is a large collection of photographs taken by Rutgers-Newark Professor Emerita, Beatrice Tabatchnick Seagull. Professor Seagull took pictures of Springfield Avenue and the surrounding neighborhoods of the Central Ward in Newark over the course of several decades. The collection consisted of 35mm color slides housed in two three-ring binders. The slides were digitized by Dr. Samantha Boardman, who also recorded metadata for each slide.
The images show streets scenes, abandoned and occupied residences; large commercial buildings; storefronts; neighborhood churches, playgrounds; empty lots; architectural details such as doors, steps, etc.; and signs and murals. The collection can be browsed or searched at: https://collections.libraries.rutgers.edu/avenues-of-newark
