Brooks-Tate Photo Album

In December 2007, Vada Anderson rediscovered a photo album in her home in Winston-Salem, NC. It probably belonged to Annie Elizabeth Brooks (1873-1952). It contains 40 photos. Most individuals are probably Brooks or Tate-Family relatives. Photos appear to have been taken during the 1880s and 1890s. Tintypes could be older.

Very few of these individuals are known. Photos were shot in studios in Burlington, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, and Reidsville, North Carolina. Others were shot as far away as: Danville, Virginia; Salem, Virginia; Gainesville, Texas; Baltimore, Maryland; Lexington, Kentucky; and Little Rock, Arkansas. If you are a Brooks or Tate-Family researcher, you may find some hidden treasure here.
