Biographical / historical:

Louise Heur Schulz was born in the Gary section of Tampa, FL in 1924. Her father, Richard Heur, a German immigrant, worked as a picture framer for the Burgert Brothers commercial photography studio. An amateur photographer, Heur was a member of a local camera club that included such members as Florida photographer C. Verne Klintsworth and Tampa Tribune columnist Phil Barney. It is not known whether Heur took the photographs included in this collection; except for a few aerial photographs identifying W.E. Kitchen (possibly of the Mitchell Flying School on Davis Islands, Tampa) as the photographer, the photographer of most of the photos is unidentified. Highlights of the collection include aerial photographs of downtown Tampa and images of Tampa after the 1921 hurricane.
