Glendale History Drive

The Photos of Glenn B. Ward

The images in this collection were donated by former Mayor John Drayman as a part of the Glendale Public Library History Drive in 2009.

The photographs were taken by local professional photographer Glenn B. Ward, primarily in the 1950s. Ward's images provide a rich history of a specific time in Glendale and the nearby areas of Montrose and La Crescenta.

In an effort to gather as much information about these photographs as possible, the Glendale Public Library invites Flickr users to leave comments and tags that will help tell each picture's story: who, what where, when, anything that describes the image and its context.

Non-Flickr users can participate by emailing their comments to the library at centlibref@ci.glendale.ca.us.

The Glenn B. Ward Collection will ultimately be included among the Glendale Public Library's materials on Historypin, in the Online Archive of California, and on Calisphere.

Help us add chapters to Glendale's past by sharing or donating your photos and documents. The Library is interested in collecting and/or scanning items to add to its collection of:

• photos and documents relating to Glendale's cultural and civic events
• images of landmark family celebrations in Glendale, and
• photos and documents pertaining to buildings, houses and places of interest in Glendale.

The Glendale History Drive is in partnership with The Glendale Historical Society and the Historical Society of Crescenta Valley. For more information or to make an appointment call (818) 548-3752.
