    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.

Most of the manuscripts in this series are typed and appear to be close too, if not, the final revision. Some of Silverberg's works found within this series include: Born with the dead, Capricorn games, Galactic dreamers, Gilgamesh the king, How they pass the time in Pelpel, The Nebula awards, New dimensions 2, 6, 7, and 8, Nightwings, Revolt on Alpha C, Sundance and other science fiction stories, and Time gate volume two: Dangerous interfaces.
