Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists of photographs taken during the flood of 1927 in Palmetto. Budden's brother-in-law “Swan” Williams, who was with the U.S. Coast Guard, took most of the photographs. The rest of the photographs were collected over the years from other people. These photographs are digitized and copied to a CD.

Bertha Reed, daughter of Mr. Chuck Budden, donated this collection.
