Vintage LAPD Crime Scene Photos

This catalog is the result of hundreds of hours of sifting through countless boxes tightly packed with everyday dimestore #10 white letter envelopes, sealed and cut in half to make a convenient open-ended pouch, each containing the forensic negatives for a single case. On most of the envelopes is a hand-written "Division of Report", or DR, number. The DR number uniquely identifies each case and often appears hand-written directly on the negatives. The name or initials of the photographer can also be seen on many of the negatives.
