Where is ansel adams from

While the collection and most of the photos that make it up are small in size, historians are hailing them as historically significant. These kinds of photos don't surface that much anymore," said Guy Rocha, retired Nevada state archivist. The collection includes original photographs and copies of originals. Images capture famous Nevadans as well as scenes from one of the world's greatest bonanzas: a massive, underground pocket of silver and gold known as the Comstock Lode in Virginia City, about 20 miles southeast of Reno.

Among other things, Helms' donation gives the Historical Society its lone original photo of the Wells Fargo office in Virginia City and its only photo of Howland as a young man, said Lee Brumbaugh, the society's photo curator.
