| Description | Spectacular fires, historic firefighting equipment, and Boise city streetscapes are among the images preserved in the William F. "Doc" Roach digital collection at Boise State University. A Boise city firefighter for more than 50 years, Doc Roach was not a photographer himself, but rather a collector, especially in the latter years of his career when he was a fire marshal and fire prevention captain. This digital collection, which features images from 1904 to 1965, is drawn primarily from Doc Roach's photograph collection and is supplemented by related images from other collections in Boise State University Library Special Collections. |
