Jeannette Carolyn Wilson photograph album of the Huntington Library, and other material
Visual Materials
An album of about 200 photographs, 1942 to 1949, compiled by a former Huntington Library employee, Jeannette Carolyn Wilson, containing many snapshots of employees at the library and elsewhere. Subjects include: people standing outside the library; the tea room; aviary building; oak trees; employees playing cards and socializing; staff Christmas parties; snow on the grounds in January, 1949; women with cameras, taking photographs; and library staff loading books to be shipped offsite for safekeeping during World War II. The album also has some personal vacation photographs, a few clippings about the Huntington, and three letters from reference librarian Mary Isabel Fry, some with news of the Huntington. Wilson probably took many of the photographs, and possibly appears in the album. Though most people are unidentified, some recognizable library employees are: Carey Bliss, Leslie Bliss, Lyle H. Wright, Margaret Meracle, Robert Glass Cleland, Mary Isabel Fry, William Parish, Graydon Spalding, and Erwin F. Morkisch.
