Contact prints and contact print negatives

Manuscripts

This subseries contains contact prints of the photograph albums and were used as circulating copies in the reading room prior to the digitization of the original albums in 2016. Note: Many of the contact print images are of poor quality. The albums were photographed in in 1976, prior to the donation of the originals in 1983, when the Shepard family loaned the albums to the Library for the purpose of copying. Each photograph was copied (and each page of the album was also copied in its entirety) on thirty-five millimeter roll film. Contact prints of these photographs were assembled and made available for reference. Image reproductions made from the contact prints were ordered using the numbers printed on the negatives (in addition to the JPL album number and volume number). The contact print negatives were removed from Boxes 513-516 and are now housed 20 3-ring binders, binders 1-20.

Photograph Albums

Manuscripts

This series contains photograph albums with photographs primarily taken by Jack and Charmian London on their travels and at home. The prints are pasted into 90 small and 26 large albums. The albums are beginning to deteriorate due to the natural action of the chemicals used in developing the photographs, and the originals do not circulate. Access to the images is available through digital reproductions available in the Huntington Digital Library. In addition, this series also contains 24 boxes of contact prints and 20 binders of corresponding film negatives (previously in boxes 513-516) that were previously used as reading room surrogates for the original albums.
