Manuscripts
One of only five known originals, the masks were prepared shortly after Newton's death by sculptor John Michael Rysbrack (1694-1770) and subsequently used as the model for his bust of Newton in Westminster Abbey. Copies of the mask were sent to French sculptor Louis-Franc̦ois Roubiliac (1702-1762) for his statue of Newton in Trinity College Chapel.

Visual Materials
The Harold A. Parker Studio Collection of Negatives consists of 5157 glass plate negatives, film negatives, and panoramic negatives, 1889-1949, that depict commercial, residential and landscape sites in and around Pasadena and Southern California. The images provide a look at the commercial, residential and social development of Pasadena and surrounding areas during the early years of the twentieth century. The collection is especially rich in images of residential architecture in Pasadena, Altadena, and San Marino; images of Lake Tahoe; depictions of, and activities at, the Raymond, Maryland, and Huntington Hotels in Pasadena; and the commercial, social and cultural landscapes of Pasadena. The collection also provides, through its breadth and depth of subject matter, an example of the career activities of a commercial photographer in Southern California in the early years of the twentieth century.
