Public-domain historical photograph of Universalist church members in Riverside, California, circa 1895-1898, featuring ministers Dr. Deere and Dr. Garst.

About this photograph

This photograph shows members of a Universalist church congregation in Riverside, California. The archive dates it to around 1898, though this carries some uncertainty.

The caption identifies two ministers present in the group: Dr. Deere and Dr. Garst. No further details about these individuals or the church itself appear in the available records.

The photograph forms part of a collection digitised through California Revealed, a statewide initiative that makes historical material from libraries, archives, museums and historical societies across California available to the public. Because the programme draws on many separate local institutions, the presence of this shared designation indicates where the image was digitised rather than its original provenance.

The photographer remains unidentified. Group portraits of congregations were common documentary photography during this period, preserving a record of religious communities in California's growing inland cities.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
