Photographs: Opportunity School; 2 prints, ca. 1933

This series is comprised of photographs taken mostly by Lula Hale or Homeplace Hospital physician, Donald Martin. They were assembled by Willie Fay (Mrs.Victor) Spurlock and Ann Hoskins in 1983 as a means of providing photographic documentation of a wide variety of Homeplace programs and activities.

The photographs include one hundred and sixty-five labeled prints dating from the early 1930's through the mid-1970's. Most are from the period, 1935-1955. Included are photographs of Homeplace staff and Fund Board of Trustees, Homeplace agricultural projects, buildings, educational and medical programs, community organization meetings, and miscellaneous photographs documenting day-to-day events. Most of the photographs have dates and written descriptions supplied by Mrs. Spurlock.

This series also includes three 16-mm silent motion picture films each of which is less than 200 feet in length. They date from 1930-1931, and document events such as Christmas and Easter programs, Folk School activities, and a gathering at nearby Buckhorn School. View Films
