Craig Klein of Eastern Iowa Community College in Davenport Iowa, while researching a book on Davenport's African-American Heritage, was given photographs of some slides taken from an eBay sale. These apparently represented early African American people and locations in Davenport. These slides are marked "Victor Animatograph." He sent copies to be placed in this collection. These are paper copies of digital images of slides. The whereabouts of the slides themselves is unknown. The identifiable subjects of the slides are Eugene Green; Green's Restaurant; LeRoy P. Chistenia, Circulations Manager for the Tri-City Herald; the office of the Tri-City Herald at 1103 E. Third Street, Davenport, Iowa; and a paper boy selling copies of the Tri-City Herald.
