1950s St. Louis: Sievers Studio Collection Project

The Sievers Studio Collection consists of the collected work of Sievers Studio, a commercial photography studio run by Isaac Sievers and his son Alvin in St. Louis. The studio was active from 1917 to 1989, providing an in-depth look into life in twentieth century St. Louis. Thanks to a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Missouri Historical Society is processing and digitizing Series 5: 1950-1959.
