« The sixth treasure in the Woodstock Theological Library is actually a collection of items, or rather photos. As noted on our website, the Library began its life as the archival repository and library for Woodstock College, a Jesuit seminary that began in 1869, and closed in 1974. As the archival repository it held much of the personal papers and photos of Jesuits from the Maryland Province. One of the Jesuits who taught at Woodstock was an incredible photographer, John Brosnan (1860-1949), whose skill with a camera and in the darkroom, was even recognized by Eastman- Kodak. Brosnan, or Father Johnnie, as he was called due to his congeniality, taught chemistry and other science courses at Woodstock, and it was this knowledge and exactness that yielded thousands of beautifully exposed prints and glass slides. » (Source : Georgetown University, A Jesuit and a Kodak, web ou pdf.)
« John Brosnan, S.J., served for many years as the “official” photographer for the Maryland Province and as an ongoing consultant for Eastman Kodak. Brosnan’s images, which show his concentration on formal photographs of buildings, individuals, and groups, also include a variety of valuable informal recordings of many aspects of Jesuit communal life. Photos cover all areas of the Maryland province [from 1923-1950], and also include images of specific Jesuits of the Maryland province in other parts of the world. Available here are selected images of Brosnan's original glass plate negatives. » (Source : Georgetown University, Brosnan photographie collection web ou pdf.)
