  This collection contains 799 photographs of people and places in South Pasadena, California, taken by photographer Herbert J. Kenny (1863-1956) from approximately 1908-1937. The collection chiefly comprises studio portraits of individuals and images of people posing in outdoor settings. Portraits depict women; men; children and young adults; and groups, including couples, families, Boy Scouts, students, sports teams, lodge members, and a church congregation. Most people are unidentified, though some captions identify professions including minister or dancer, and two photographs identify a sitter by name. Many of the photographs feature early twentieth century fashion, including formal wear, various types of uniforms, graduation gowns, and other forms of dress. The collection also includes photographs depicting residences, commercial and other buildings, and landscaping and agriculture in and around South Pasadena, chiefly in the early 1920s. A few photographs show house interiors, and several depict automobiles and roads. Notably, several photographs show retail establishments holding clearance or going-out-of-business sales. There are also a few photographs showing imagery from outside of South Pasadena and other miscellaneous items.

  The Banning Family Collection of Photographs, Part II, 1814-1979, consists of 1204 photographs and 23 photographs albums. The three most substantial categories of images in this collection are views of Santa Catalina Island; Banning family properties and residences in southern California; and portraits of family members and relatives. Of special significance are the Catalina photographs documenting the development of the island from a natural enclave with a few inhabitants to a thriving tourist resort. Volume 7 in the Family Album section contains images of the devastating effects of the Catalina fire of 1915. Also of particular interest are photographs of the George S. Patton family.
