The Directory of Early Michigan Photographers, compiled over several decades,
identifies virtually every known commercial and significant amateur photographer that
worked in the state of Michigan from the first known appearances in the 1840s into the
early twentieth century. The author, David V. Tinder, is recognized as the top authority
on early Michigan photography. Tinder’s work sets a new standard for inclusiveness,
scope, and detail for directories of this type. While a dearth of information has kept some
entries brief, the lives of many have been traced “from the cradle to the grave,” as Dave
likes to say. With over 8,000 records, the Directory stands as an unsurpassed resource for
historians, collectors, curators, archivists, genealogists, and anyone interested in the early
history of photography in the United States.
David V. Tinder was born in Lima, Ohio, in 1926 and moved to Flint, Michigan,
as a child. He served in the United States Navy as an electronic technician's mate until he
was honorably discharged in July of 1946. Dave Tinder attended Flint Junior College for
one year before transferring to the University of Michigan, which awarded him a
Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1949.
Tinder spent the majority of his career as a project engineer and product
development manager for automotive manufacturers and suppliers in the Detroit area.
Tinder developed many successful designs and has been issued sixteen United States
patents plus a number in foreign countries. Dave Tinder retired from United
Technologies Automotive Products Division in 1990.
Tinder’s interest and expertise in Michigan photographers was born from his
collecting habits. In the late 1950s he was accumulating antique leaded glass lamps, art
glass, ceramics, Art Nouveau pewter, and Japanese bronzes. Inspired by William C.
Darrah’s 1964 book Stereo Views: A History of Stereographs in America and Their
Collection, he amassed a large collection of international photographic stereo views. By
the early 1970s he began trading his international collection for Michigan stereos and
began seriously collecting other early photographic formats related to Michigan.
Eventually this would include examples of virtually every popular photographic format
used by both professional and amateur photographers in the first century of photography.
With his collection now focused on Michigan images, Tinder became interested in
documenting the lives and work of 19th century Michigan photographers and began
creating his directory. The combination of collecting Michigan photographs and
researching Michigan photographers focused Tinder’s interest and advanced his detailed
knowledge of the subject. Over time, Tinder expanded the scope of his collection to
include real-photo postcards and other formats from the 20th century, and the research
period for the Directory was elongated to include photographers who were active before
1920. Tinder’s Directory of Early Michigan Photography now covers more than 8,000
men and women who played significant roles in the first eighty years of the business and
the Tinder collection contains approximately 100,000 vintage photographs.
The significance of both of these achievements came to the attention of the
William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, and a close relationship has
grown between Tinder and the library. Clements Library Associates Board Member
David B. Walters purchased the Tinder photo collection in 2006 and has been
incrementally donating it to the Clements Library in honor of Harold L. Walters,
University of Michigan class of 1947, Engineering, and Marilyn S. Walters, University of
Michigan class of 1950, LS&A. Dave Tinder agreed to make the text of his directory
available online through the library website.
The Directory of Early Michigan Photographers and the David V. Tinder
Collection of Michigan Photography at the Clements Library is a unique combination of
intertwined resources that will lead towards a more vivid understanding of our history,
how people, places, and events were recorded in our visual cultural, and a clearer concept
of our identity as Americans in Michigan.
Dave Tinder continues to actively collect Michigan images and is enthusiastically
revising and expanding the Directory of Early Michigan Photography for the next
edition.

Users guide The Directory of Early Michigan Photographers is a resource for photograph collectors,
archivists, historians, genealogists, and those with a general interest in photographic history. The organization of the directory is designed to identify and track the careers of individual photographers, to assist with researching specific photographs, and to provide a basis for the analysis of trends within the history of photography.
The directory lists professional and significant amateur photographers active in the state of Michigan from the first to appear in 1842 to those active before 1920. The cutoff date was established to include the significant impact of real photo postcard photography in the first decades of the twentieth century. Some exceptions have been made to this cutoff date. For example, there were likely many African Americans involved in early photography as anonymous assistants, but very few were doing business under their own names prior to 1900. For this reason, some African American photographers who began business after 1920 have been included.
Many of the best-known photographers who worked in Michigan at some point in their careers did so after 1920 and are therefore not included in this directory. Excluded are notable artists such as Charles Sheeler, Harry Callahan, Robert Frank, Bill Rauhauser, and many others.
Organization This publication is organized in three main parts: Users Guide, Community Directory, and
Alphabetical Directory. The Users Guide provides information on the directory structure, search tips, notes on research methodology, and a glossary. The Community Directory lists the chronological appearance of individual photographers in each Michigan town from the advent of photography to the 1920s. The Alphabetical Directory lists over 8000 individual photographers with information on their careers, genealogy, and life history. This section is the core of the directory and contains by far the most extensive information. Activity by Michigan photographers out-of-state, and in other professions may also be included. The complete directory totals over 2800 pages.
Community Directory structure and contents The names of Michigan towns and cities appear alphabetically, with the names of photographers
active in each community listed in chronological order of appearance. Also listed is the county, year of railroad arrival, and post office establishment for each locale.
Alphabetical Directory structure and contents Most entries begin with a chronological listing of what is known of the career of the individual.
Following the name of the entry and the locale, the word “photographer” or “daguerrean” or “artist,” etc. appears in either lower case or all capitalized form. Please note that those entries in all capitalize form (PHOTOGRAPHER) represent professional activity under that name; those in lower case (photographer) represent the work of an amateur or an employee.
A hyphen between two dates (1863-1866) indicates continuity, while a comma between two dates (1863,1866) carries no implication about the intervening years. An attempt to present a reasonable biographical and vocational sketch of each individual has been made, based on all the information available at the time of publication. Sources are indicated in the column to the right in the alphabetical
directory listings. Numbers refer to the footnotes that immediately follow the entry. Letters refer to the source codes listed in Appendix I of frequently used sources.
Appendices I. Frequently used sources II. Glossary of photographic terms Research tips The Community Directory can help with the attribution of photographs when the place and date
are known or can be deduced. Patterns of migration and growth can also be followed through this information.
This directory is in Adobe Portable Document Format and can be opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader. (At the time of publishing, Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded at no charge via internet from: http://www.adobe.com and is often previously installed on many personal computers and tablets.)
The Directory's large size may discourage scrolling page by page. Opening the "Bookmarks" feature within the Acrobat Reader will allow for the quick jumping through the directory. The "Find" feature will allow for keyword searches.
Names can be located three ways: by slowly scrolling down the pages until the name you are searching for appears; by clicking on a bookmark and scrolling from that point; or by using the “Find” feature of Adobe Acrobat Reader. This feature can also be used to find any word or combination of words in the directory. For example, to compile a list of tintype photographers in Michigan, use the “Find” feature to search for “tintype.” Make note of the name and repeat the find for the next subsequent appearance. By this method, a list can be compiled of tintype photographers.
Terms used to describe women, African Americans, Native Americans, etc. are not necessarily consistent within the directory. For example, to locate African American subjects, try searching for "black" as well as "African American." To locate women, look for "Miss, Mrs.," as well as "woman," and "female."
When known, information on photographic processes, business practices, and parallel careers are noted. From this directory the migration of photographers can be tracked from town to town and in some cases, across state lines. Also included are physical descriptions and significant life events, when known. This information can assist in the identification of photographs taken by known photographers of unknown locations, track the advent and obsolescence of various processes, study the effects of military service on career paths, and many other fields of research. Detailed biographies of some individual Michigan photographers exist in other publications, but for many, the biographical information contained in this publication is the most complete information known.

Community Directory What follows is an alphabetical list of each town in which a photographer was situated, the county in which the town was located, a little information about the timing of the development of the town, and a chronological list of the photographers that worked in the town. The first date is the earliest year that the photographer is known to have worked in the town, and the second date is the last year that the photographer is known to have worked there. There is no assurance that the photographer worked in the town continuously between the two dates. See the individual entries for more specific information about the photographer’s career. Single dates preceded by “circa" were estimated by the compiler from whatever information was available. The photographers in each town are listed in chronological order of the first date and then in alphabetical order of the last name of the photographer.
