Winston Favor, a curatorial assistant at Mariner’s Museum and Park in Newport News, is still urging the public to help him identify thousands of individuals who appear in photos that were taken in the 1930s in Newport News.
Favor is currently wrapping up part two of the Ellis Parker Griffith Collection, which is named after Ellis Parker Griffith, the official photographer for Newport News Shipbuilding. Griffith’s photographs are preserved in the Museum’s archives. The Black-and-white photos provide a unique window into early 20th-century Newport News.
