Visual Materials
An album with 29 commercial card photographs of Alaska, produced by brothers W.H. Partridge, E.J. Partridge, and Sam C. Partridge. Places shown include Fort Wrangle (i.e. Fort Wrangel, now the town of Wrangell), Sitka, Juneau, Muirs Glacier, Chilkat, Takou Inlet, and Killisnoo. Some of the photographs include settlers and/or indigenous people. One image shows the crew of the steamship Idaho, with some individuals identified on the verso. Two of the photographs of Muir Glacier and one of the photographs of Juneau, which uses the town's earlier name, Harrisburg, are from the studio of Isaac G. Davidson of Portland, Oregon (Items 13, 15-16). Based on research it appears likely that most of the photographs are by W.H. Partridge; it is possible that some are by E.J. Partridge.

Bound scrapbook of snapshots belonging to Kenneth E. Tipton, an employee at the Los Angeles Times's Catalina Island summer camp from 1915-1918. The photographs, all from 1915, show views of the camp and its operations, as well as scenes of Avalon, and primarily depict young men and women posing and enjoying recreational activities at the beach and around the island. The album is accompanied by a 1917 list of weekly balances for individuals at the Times Camp with an agent for the Sanitary Laundry Co. of Los Angeles and Golden State Laundry of San Pedro and a note from the Manager of Circulation, The Times-Mirror Company, dated September 23, 1918, and addressed "To Whom it May Concern" recommends Kenneth E. Tipton as an employee: "For the past four seasons he has handled our Camp at Catalina Island, superintending the construction of the Camp, and management of from fifty to one hundred boys."
