Robert Emrick

Robert P. Emrick was born in Haydenville, Massachusetts on March 31, 1890. He lived in the Northampton area until his death on March 7, 1982. A prolific photographer, Emrick captured images of a plethora of subjects; from the early twentieth-century Look Memorial Park to the landscapes of the Connecticut River Valley, Emrick's photographs pay homage to the multifacted history of Western Massachusetts. A collection of his negatives, prints and slides were given to Forbes Library by his grandson, Joel Emrick.
