Man and horse near Death Valley, undated

The Dr. Charles F. Elvers Photograph Collection contains over 60 images of Elvers, his airplane, aviation events, and trips around the Western United States and Mexico. Of particular interest are sketches drawn by Elvers of the airplane he designed and flew.

The collection mostly contains 5” x 7” negatives with some prints. The photographs are arranged into ten series: Portraits of Elvers, Elvers’ plane, Aviation events and newspaper articles, Miscellaneous aviation, Baltimore, Johns Hopkins Hospital group portrait, Trips to the Western United States, Sketches of Western life, Trip to Mexico, and Miscellaneous. They were then organized by chronologically when possible. Duplicate images were given the same image id number.
