Organizational Sketch           Dothan Landmarks Foundation, Inc. (DLF), is a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization chartered in 1976 to preserve the cultural and natural heritage of southeast Alabama.  The Foundation's primary project has been to develop and operate Landmark Park, a 100-acre facility enjoyed by approximately 40,000 visitors annually.  DLF not only operates Landmark Park but also has a mission to preserve the history of the Dothan Area.  To that end, it has collected historical manuscripts and photographs from residents, and conducted an extensive oral history program in the 1980s and 1990s.

Biographical Sketch  Thomas W. Solomon, May 27, 1915--May 13, 1988, was a resident of Headland, AL, and according to his Dothan Eagle obituary of May 14, 1988,  a "well known railroad artist and train enthusiast."  Solomon served as a draftsman with the Atlantic Coast Line then with the Florida East Coast Railroad.  He was a member of the Headland United Methodist Church.

Scope/Content      Consists of Solomon's photographic negatives, transparent positives, and prints of railroading in the Southeastern US, particularly the Wiregrass.  Many shots are copy negatives or photographs of Solomon's paintings of railroad scenes.  Others are on-site shots of trains, yards, tracks, and other facilities.  The photos cover the Alabama Midland Railway, Amtrak, Apalachicola and St. Andrew's Bay Railway, Apalachicola Northern, Atlantic Coast Line, Bay Line, Central of Georgia, L&N, Plant System, Seaboard Atlantic Line, Southern Railway, and others.

Organization         Item-level control.

Provenance           Tom Solomon photographs given to DLF as part of its historical collecting mandate.  DLF transferred the photographs to The Wiregrass Archives in 2005.

Processing Notes             Scanned and assigned temporary numbers as part of Dothan Landmarks Foundation's authoring of Railroading in Dothan and Vicinity (Charleston, SC:  Arcadia Publishing, 2005).  Those images not scanned for that project were scanned in March 2009.  The Wiregrass Archives file numbers (based on Acc + box/item + file; in this case 030-05-0725-ITM-xxx) created in May 2009.

Preferred Citation            Tom Solomon Photographs, Dothan Landmarks Foundation, Inc. Records, RG030.  The Wiregrass Archives, Troy University Dothan Campus, Dothan, AL.
