Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Otto D. Goetze was born in Missouri in 1871 to a German immigrant family of twelve children. Goetze left Missouri as a young man, moving to Walla Walla, Washington, then to Oregon and later to Seattle. Goetze went to Alaska around 1898 as the Gold Rush began and established a photography studio in Nome. Though he returned to the mainland at least once during this time-- to photograph the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904--Goetze remained in Alaska photographing Gold Rush activity and Alaska natives until approximately 1908.

Goetze then moved back to Seattle, where he was proprietor of the Alaska Photo Studio from 1909 to 1912. Goetze got married in 1911 and had a daughter, Dorothy, in 1912. In 1914, the family moved to a farm in Cedar Valley. Goetze sold the farm in the 1930s as a consequence of financial difficulties related to the Depression; afterwards Goetze may have moved to Monroe, Washington.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The collection consists of 92 black and white photographic prints, 319 photographic postcards, a photograph album, a few publications and some papers.

The photographs consist largely of images taken in Alaska between approximately 1899 and 1908. The majority of these were taken in Nome and depict miners, mining operations and native Inupiaq and Indian people, as well as dog teams, Nome streets and steamships in Nome Harbor. Other Alaska images depict native totem poles and scenes in Wrangell and in Fort Davis, the U.S. Army outpost near Nome. A smaller number of photographs depict the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle; others document the 1909 regrading of 3rd Avenue in Seattle, including images of the old Washington Hotel.

The album includes similar images of Alaska and Seattle, as well as photographs of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and images of towns in California, Missouri, Utah, Texas and Colorado.

The majority of the photographic postcards consists of images taken at the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle, including images of A.Y.P.E. buildings, grounds, parades, events and native peoples on exhibit.

The collection includes two illustrated books by Goetze about his Alaska experience, a book about the Klondike by photographer Frank La Roche, a book about Alaska published in anticipation of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, and Alaska Steamship menus.
