Provenance
The Hegemann Collection of 729 prints came to the Huntington as two separate gifts. The first and largest part of the collection was donated by Elizabeth Hegemann in 1962. This portion (photographs numbered 1 through 539) was accompanied by copy negatives, the original negatives having been lost in the 1938 fire which claimed the Shonto Trading Post. The second group of photographs (numbered 540 through 729) came to the Library in 1965, three years after Hegemann's death. Copy negatives were made for a sprinkling of this second group.
Rights
The photographs which appeared in Navaho Trading Days are under copyright to the University of New Mexico Press. While the Huntington will provide copy prints for this material, permission to publish the photographs must be requested in writing from the Press itself. However, not all of the material in the Hegemann Collection is copyrighted by UNM Press. Hegemann arranged the photographs so that those images which appear in the book, and are hence under copyright, come first, followed by the uncopyrighted material. The images which are copyrighted are separated by those that are not by white paper dividers within the collection, and the status of the material is noted on the transcript. None of the photographs acquired in 1965 are copyrighted. At some point the status of this copyright needs to be investigated, since in several instances UNM Press has been unaware of the copyright status when approached by researchers for permission.
