[Banner from Proof exhibit]

Description: Photograph of one of the informational banners that was hung in the Special Collections room while the exhibit "Proof: The Byrd Williams Family Photography Archive" was housed there. It reads "Byrd Williams Photography; Byrd Photo; Byrd Williams III worked for Kodak and several other photography companies in addition to being involved in lens manufacturing prior to starting his business in Fort Worth. Through these jobs he gained the skill necessary to launch Byrd Photo which also included a portrait studio and photo lab. Studio work included work for a wide variety of clients including the city crime lab, architects, and magazines. Customers could have a photography painted over in oils, giving it the appearance of a painting - or oil paintings, based on these photographs.; Proof: Photographs from Four Generations of a Texas Family; Customers who came to Byrd Photo to have their portrait made would invariably be presented with a proof -- a photo print they could see before they placed their order for additional photographs. The Williams Collection is filled with photo proofs like these, but it's filled with proof of another kind as well-- proof of four lives spent in an unceasing attempt to capture our world, through the lens of a camera, as well as through the artifacts of their own lives. Over 190 images from the collection, as well as letters and other family mementos, are curated by Byrd Williams IV in the book Proof, available in fall 2016 through UNT Press." On the banner are also three black and white images, and a picture of a camera and old film.

Within each box and folder are photos, letters, scrapbooks and artifacts. Individually they are curiosities, but combined, they are interconnected evidence of the past. The Byrd Williams Family Photography Collection was created by four photographers, all named Byrd Moore Williams, over four successive generations beginning in 1890 and continuing through the present day. The collection is proof of four lives, lived in vivid detail. The story is yet to be told.; The archive, acquired by UNT Libraries in 2014, contains over 300,000 unique images, ranging from snapshots to studio portraits to street photography. Subject matter is diverse too; in this collection the landscapes of Yosemite site alongside televangelists, professional hockey players and Fort Worth city landmarks new and old. The history of the Williams Family is told within the collection through letters, postcards, diaries and artifacts such as cameras and significant personal effects." Also on the banner are several examples of photos found in the archive collection.
