Purchase; Mrs. Louise Dunham Goldsberry, Takoma Park, Maryland; 1926.
Mrs. Louise Dunham Goldsberry collected the images to illustrate the benefits of open-air schools and outdoor education for children and encourage the creation of additional facilities. She solicited images and information by sending letters to schools, organizations, and education departments. She compiled an extensive typescript (dated 1921) to accompany the visual information and indicated in the introduction that most images were received by 1913.
