"Women Photographers in Oregon, 1852-1917" is the title of the Oregon Chautauqua presentation at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at the Scio Public Library, 38957 First Avenue.

Carole Glauber, a photo-historian and photographer from Portland, will show slides of the distinctive work of four early female photographers: Maud Baldwin of Klamath Falls, Fanny Van Duyn of Tygh Valley, and Sarah Ladd and Lily White of Portland.

Their photographs of the Columbia River Gorge, Native Americans, and the early development of the Klamath Basin provide a window into Oregon's history, revealing much about community, culture, and women's roles in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Carole Glauber is the author of "Witch of Kodakery: The Photography of Myura Albert Wiggins," published by Washington University Press. She teaches photography at Mt. Hood Community College, and her photographs have been exhibited in Texas, California, New York and around the Pacific Northwest.

Glauber's presentation is sponsored by the Friends of the Scio Public Library and funded by the Oregon Council for the Humanities (OCH), an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
