Image 8 from Negative Strip 41: Dallas Police Department of Dallas Police officers standing guard outside the Homicide and Robbery Bureau
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by an unidentified Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. The image shows two Dallas Police officers standing guard at the doorway to the Homicide and Robbery Bureau at the Dallas Police Department headquarters on November 23, 1963. The negative is on Kodak Tri-X Pan Film. This image is labeled #8 on section 1 of negative strip 41.The old TMS record for the images on this negative strip did not identify a photographer. Based on research conducted by collections intern Mark Davies in June and July 2012, curatorial and collections staff concluded that it is not possible to say at this time who took the photos. (Katie Womack, 7/30/13) Also noted at the 2012 curatorial meeting: the images on this strip were taken Saturday morning, 11-23-63. Gary indicated there were two clues to confirm this timing: Jim Leavelle is in his "weekend suit" and Oswald appears in a t-shirt.
