We begin with an aside:
You could do lots worse than use this (click) as your home page. It's got a very high info to distractions ratio!! Also, you can copy it and tweak it as you wish. (Instructions at bottom of the page.)

The purpose of this collection (web site or DVD) is to facilitate awareness on the part of the viewer who finds relatives featured here. For this to be effective, persons featured are best shown in various characteristic activities, different apparent frames of mind, and from multiple points of view. Realism, rather than an idealization, is intended. Candid and informal photographs, rather than portraits, predominate where possible.

The coverage (quantity of images and other data) is uneven - partly because the scope of the collection is impossible to rationalize but partly because of a lack of photos I'd like to add. The focal core of material here can be seen as lying along an axis between myself, Fred Chase, and the family of Julia Adele Mathias and Charles Warren Chase. These two remarkable people both i) benefited from ancestors of substance and a country with enormous resources and ii) cared well for family and friends. The resulting panorama is well worth contemplating.
There are two views of the image data collected here:
The gallery is browsable / searchable by a hierarchy ('tree') of categories. A given image will appear at more than one node of the hierarchy, as appropriate. It is shrunken enough so as to be fetched reasonably quickly. Each gallery image caption will display the file name and the 'IPTC' caption/abstract, if any, within an image. A second caption looks like this: Archived Original: §®§ . So, after you've found an image of interest in the gallery, you can get the original/master on the spot.
Instead of using your browser's back button, click the 'back' button within the gallery web page.
The categories are a work-in-progress. Please report improvements/errors! A file showing every category and its files is HERE. Open it with a simple ASCII text editor.
The archive contains the master/archival pictures Click here, then click the file <<<00__CLICK_ME.htm>>> for further information.
There is genealogical data here also:
Reports generated from the data ( 'pedigree', descendant and other) in PDF format are image-like (you see the first page) and appear in the image gallery and image archive.
The exported data file, in GEDCOM format, HERE. This file can be imported into almost any genealogy computer program.
One or more data backup files, understandable to the computer program (The Master Genealogist) which I have most recently been using. HERE.
The numerous files needed by the TMG you can buy. These are at several locations, and I hope, but have not conclusively verified, that I have included all that are necessary for someone already having TMG to 'fire up' this base of genealogical data in its most recent incarnation.
