From its beginning in York, Pennsylvania, in 1847, until the last surviving brother’s death in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1922, the Goodridge Brothers Studio was the most significant African American photography studio in North America.
Glenalvin, Wallace L. and William O. Goodridge created thousands of images in formats ranging from daguerreotypes to motion pictures. They were extraordinarily adaptable, always changing with the times. More than 1,000 Goodridge photographs exist today.

These are the images and accounts of how people worked, raised families, built communities, worshiped, maintained relationships, expressed themselves and coped with changes and challenges in the past. Most of the subjects are Americans of African descent.
