Family, Birds and Miscellaneous
Series
Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
Dr. George Allen was a physician from Chicago, Illinois, who moved to Salt Lake City in 1921. In the late 1940s, his fascination with birds coalesced into the Allen Publishing Company, which produced The Pheasant Fanciers, Game Bird Breeders, and Aviculturist's Gazette, a publication devoted entirely to birds. He was also instrumental in establishing the Tracy Aviary, still in operation in Salt Lake's Liberty Park. Dr. Allen's home and its surroundings, Allen Park on 13th East in Salt Lake City, is still a local attraction. The collection consists of photographs of the Allen family, Allen Park, miscellaneous colleagues and friends of the family, many pictures of birds, other animals, and photographs taken during family vacations.
