Visual Materials
This album contains 35 black-and-white photographs of the campus of the Theosophical community Lomaland, which served as the international headquarters of the Theosophical Society, in Point Loma, San Diego. The photographs are primarily views of the grounds and exteriors of Lomaland including Raja-Yoga buildings, Katherine Tingley's residence, the Temple of Peace, and the open-air Greek theater, as well as 18 photographs depicting actors outdoors performing scenes from the Shakespeare plays "As You Like It" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." There are also two images of musical groups identified as the "Raja-Yoga Symphony Orchestra" and the "Raja-Yoga College Band," and three photographs of a group of small children in white outfits identified as "The Little Philosophers" and the "Raja-Yoga Tots." The images are mounted on stock paper with decorative manuscript captions; the photographer is unidentified. The album was presented by Tingley to Albert I. Mather and his wife Katherine Mather of Rockland, Maine, during a visit by Tingley in 1921.

Manuscripts
This collection is organized to preserve, whenever possible, Robert Hine's original order. This includes most of his original folder titles, the original order of folders, and the original order of some of the boxes. The collection contains Hine's professional work as a historian of the American West and a writer, and includes research notes, photocopied manuscripts, newspaper clippings, interviews, correspondence, and other research related papers. As such, the original order of Hine's papers reflects his process of collecting and referencing them as he worked on various book projects. In some instances, his original folders provide insight into the kinds of questions or themes he was pursuing in the course of his work. Hine also revised the organization of these papers as he prepared them for donation to the Huntington Library in the late 1990s. Despite Hine's own curatorship, some of his papers remained unsorted and unorganized at the time of this collection's cataloging. Those have been organized by the cataloger to reflect, as much as possible, Hine's own organizational methods.
