The John Janney collection contains correspondence and business records related to mining in the early 20th century American West. Included are files related to John Janney's several properties and interests, most of which were in Lincoln County, Nevada, including the Ely Valley Mines, Mountain View Hotel, Pioche Mines Company, Pioche Power and Light Company, and Tenabo Mining and Smelting Company. This collection exists as an extensive and rich documentation of Nevada mining, especially during the Great Depression and World War II.

"There and Gone focuses on the topographical contradiction of one structure being laid upon another, and the way one looks (and is seen) across the resulting borders. Using surveillance film and telephoto lenses, Gossage photographed the double border between San Diego and Mexico: the one of politics -- fences, footprints and dirt paths -- and the one of geography, where the land meets the sea. Omitting those characteristics normally used in the identification of individuals, Gossage draws attention to what can be communicated through posture, gestures, and the placement of an individual in a crowd"--Publisher's description.
