"Catherine Wagner's photographs of the subjects and objects of science, from the most sophisticated--DNA sequencing and radioactive cell growth--to the most mundane--beakers, flasks and fruit flies--combine to reflect the impact of science on contemporary society. These photographs are part of a project for which Catherine Wagner travelled to major laboratories across the United States, engaging with scientists to create her visual investigation of the exclusive world of scientific research. The resulting images offer the opportunity to encounter science in an innovative and unusual manner, as they bridge the distances between art, science and everyday life"--From dust jacket.

Manuscripts
The collection deals primarily with the professional and personal activities of Samuel Brooks Morris, a civil engineer of note in Southern California who was most active from the 1930s into the early 1960s. The collection deals with local (Pasadena and Los Angeles), state and national engineering concerns, largely related to water reclamation, dams, hydrogeology, water litigation, and a wide range of related technical publications. The material consists of a highly diverse mix of manuscripts and printed materials, including correspondence, maps, notes, charts, fliers, and brochures, often interspersed within each folder. The correspondence is primarly to and from colleagues, but also includes discusion with government officials at all levels from local to national. The collection includes a small number of photographs, located in appropriate sections of the collection by subject.
