Visual Materials
A collection of photographs documenting miner Robert S. Watt and family living in the mountains of Los Angeles County at the turn of the 20th century. Views show daily activities and places visited; people hunting and living in cabins; horses; and a few group portraits, such as Los Angeles County Hospital Nurses on a picnic (1905) with names written on back. Other views show ships and a harbor, possibly in San Pedro, California; Los Angeles buildings (Plaza Church and County Courthouse) and oil wells. Mining scenes include the Watt Mines Supply Co. building in Los Angeles; men at an excavation; stamp mill machinery; a man standing at entrance to mine; and mule teams with supplies. There is also a group of photographs of Alaska, showing trappers, roadhouses, scenery, and a miner staking a claim on a river. There are also two U.S. citizenship certificates for Robert S. Watt (1890) and Alexander Barrie (1901), emigrants from Scotland.
