Vermejo Club
Visual Materials
An album with 248 photographs of the Vermejo Club and ranch in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, with views of the central buildings and landscape. Photographs of the exteriors and interiors of buildings are all on the first 17 pages of the album, with scenes of families at rest, playing tennis, and practicing archery. The interiors of the buildings are lavishly decorated, particularly the large hall that appears in several photographs and has a pool table, bear skin rug, and taxidermied wolf. Other rooms shown include bedrooms, sitting rooms, a bathroom, and an office. The photographs also include landscape scenes and various activities of ranch life, including horseback riding, hunting, and fishing. Outdoor scenery includes ponds and streams, wooded areas, and rock formations. One of the photographs appears to show the taxidermied wolf from the great hall posed outdoors, as though it is a wild animal.

Titus Ranch photograph album, (bulk 1911-1915)
Visual Materials
An album of 70 mounted photographs and 19 loose photographs depicting ranching and agricultural activities at Titus Ranch, San Gabriel Valley, California in the early 20th century. The ranch was named for Luther H. Titus (1822-1900), who bought the property in San Gabriel and what is now San Marino in the late 19th century; it was primarily devoted to citrus orchards and the breeding of fine horses. The album appears to have been compiled by someone closely affiliated with the ranch, as there are many handwritten identifications, and an image of men on horses is captioned "Our cowboys." A series of 8 x 10-inch photographs depict overviews of the ranch buildings over time, from 1890 to 1914. The bulk of the album depicts people and activities on the ranch between 1911 and 1915, including: plowing fields with teams of horses and also with farm machinery; farmworkers and crops; livestock; stables and portraits of horses; young men in suits posed with cars on the ranch; cowboys branding cattle; barns, and a large two-story residence called "Whitehall Estate." A group of loose snapshots of the ranch and ranchers are dated 1913 to 1937.
