Visual Materials
A photographically-illustrated travel narrative describing a summer trip from Omaha, Nebraska to Aspen, Colorado in 1926 taken by three women. Traveling by rail on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and then by car, the three women stay in a cabin near Aspen and engage in a wide variety of activities, including socializing with local residents, meeting miners, attending local theater performances, hiking, camping, fishing, and sightseeing. The diarist comments frequently on the outstanding scenic wonders of the Colorado mountains and her impressions of the surrounding nature. Interspersed in the album are 77 black-and-white snapshot photographs and two postcards. The three women, identified only as "Mother, Nellie, and I," are later joined by "Mother Foote and Aunt Hazel."

In these two letters to his nephew, dated February 21 aand October 21, and addressed "Dear Artie," Malcolm King writes of local details. In HM 4281, he draws small pictures as substitutes for words, such as an eye for "I" and an ant for "aunt." He writes "when the Pacific Rail Road is done you can come to California." HM 4282 includes an envelope, and King writes he has sent a letter by personal telegraph, but that "our telegraph line is Love, and it reaches from our hearts to yours."

The collection is arranged alphabetically by title. The first box contains twelve of Guinn's autograph notebooks from his research on California in general - and on many specific California counties - which served as the basis for a number of local histories he published near the turn of the century. The collection's second box features autograph and typescript drafts of Guinn's speeches and papers, many of which were published in the Annual Publications of the Historical Society of Southern California or one of Los Angeles' many newspapers. Also included are a number of speeches on the methods and practice of education. The collection's third box contains a rather extensive collection of autograph and typescript manuscripts which formed the basis for Guinn's three-volume magnum opus A History of California and an Extended History of Los Angeles and Environs (1915).
