Abstract:
George Haberman (1894-1979) was a photographer in La Crosse, Wisconsin, from 1923-1963. Haberman was a photographic apprentice under William Pryor about 1913-1915, and served as an aerial photographer instructor at the Eastman Kodak campus during World War I, returning to La Crosse after the War.

The collection includes positive copy prints from glass slide negative photographic images of the family of George Haberman and some La Crosse area scenes. There are several self portraits of Haberman, his parents Frank and Mary (Stier) Haberman, and other family members which are all unidentified. La Crosse scenes include a horse trotting or race track, building at 524 Main St. (Pryor's Photographic Studio), backside of the Woolworth's Building, the inside of a restaurant, Pettibone Park bridge and lagoon, and a farm house scene.

The original glass slides were transferred to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse's Murphy Library - Special Collections Department.
