Hawkins, Omar F. (Omar Finlay), 1890-1967
Photograph collector, Dennis Richardson of Marysville, Kansas, donated these photographs to the Kansas Historical Society over a number of years. The collection includes many photographs by many different photographers, most of whom are unknown. The photographs are primarily of Marysville, Kansas, and the surrounding area. The Richardson collection includes thousands of photographs by Marysville photographer Oman Hawkins. For the most part, Richardson kept the Hawkins photos apart from the rest of the collection and many of those appear on Kansas Memory as the Omar Hawkins photograph collection, unit 216927. Images not yet digitized are available in the State Archives and Library research room.
