B. W. Wells: Dr. Betram Whittier Wells took hundreds of photographs of North Carolina and beyond, converting them to lantern slides to accompany his lectures. Many of his lantern slides, dating from the 1920s and 1930s, were hand colored. North Carolina photographer Freda Wilkins has contributed another 1,000 photographs to the database, capturing four seasons of the Wells Savannah in 2005 and 2006.
