Tieri Slide Collection
Scope and Contents
The materials in the Tieri Slide Collection consist of 380 slides. These subjects of these slides consist mainly of Grand Rapids scenes and events. Many of these images are of Downtown Grand Rapids. The slides cover the time period of the 1950's-1970's Grand Rapids. The reason for Mr. Tieri taking these images might have something to do with his dual interests of photography and Grand Rapids history.
