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.

Manuscripts
The Northrop Grumman Corporation papers document the history of Northrop Aircraft, Inc. and Northrop Corporation, as well as its products, employees, and founder, John Knudsen Northrop. The collection is divided into three series: Northrop Corporation Archives; Aircraft Division Records; and Photographs and Negatives. The bulk of the material is within the Corporation Archives series, which was compiled by Ira Chart, the Aircraft Division/Aircraft Group historian. The series are interrelated and cover similar subject matter. Though there is a Photographs and Negatives series, some photographs can be found throughout the collection. The collection is generally arranged by subject and format of material within. It includes brochures, reports, manuals, photographs, memoranda, newsletters, and other materials.
