An expansive collection of work by Frank Cundill, Honyocker Photographer is held by the Timber Lake and Area Historical Society. The local images taken by Cundill cover a time period from 1911 until the mid 1920s and were taken in Dewey and Corson counties (the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock reservations) of South Dakota. The organization continues to gather more photos and develop the collection. At present there are 235 original glass plates, 47 original negatives, 30 original lantern slides, hundreds of original post card prints, as well as carte-de-visite, cabinet mounts and other Cundill family photographs from the 19th Century.
