Visual Materials
A collection of over 200 photographs of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, chiefly of natural scenery such as geysers, hot springs, and waterfalls, as well as images of the earliest hotels built in the park. The mounted prints are 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches and were taken by photographer F. Jay Haynes in the 1880s, when he operated as an official photographer in the park. One image shows his studio with a sign reading "Haynes Park Views" and there are exterior and interior views of his traveling railroad car photography studio. Other subjects are: tourists camping and riding in stagecoaches; a group posed by the Yellowstone River; a sternwheeler ferry on the lake; and a portrait of Shoshone chief Washakie and other Shoshone Indians at Fort Washakie, Wyoming Territory. In 1887, Haynes joined an expedition with explorer Frederick Schwatka and took some of the earliest photographs of Yellowstone in winter. Scenes include the expedition party on skis in front of Norris Hotel, and Schwatka at Obsidian Cliff. There are a few views of two other locations: harbor scenes in Portland, Oregon, and mills and logging activity in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

This is a collection primarily of negatives and photographic prints depicting the growth of Santa Monica and Los Angeles, California, from 1860s to 1980s. Many views are cityscapes or street views, showing buildings, storefronts, homes and roads, and documenting the use of railroads, trolleys, streetcars, and automobiles. There are many card photographs by early professional photographers, and also a number of snapshots made by amateurs, some in personal photo albums. The collection's scope also includes early views of many other communities in Southern California (and a few in other states); the beginnings of aviation in Santa Monica, including the first Douglas Aircraft Company buildings; a photo album of residents in Topanga Canyon, ca. 1913; automobile racing in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, 1920s; maritime views; a photo album of U.S. troops in France during World War I; a 1949 real estate development in Apple Valley, California, and others. Besides photographs, a portion of the collection consists of scarce publications and historical ephemera, primarily related to Santa Monica and Los Angeles, including brochures, advertising cards, menus, event programs and other materials. Highlights of the Santa Monica images are aerial views of the buildings along the coast and pier (1920s); several views of the Arcadia Hotel (1880s); the Long Wharf and adjoining railroad and train depot; the first bath houses on the beach; the beach club culture of the 1920s and 1930s; the amusement piers of Santa Monica, Ocean Park and Venice; and the beginnings of the Douglas Aircraft Company. There is a large set of promotional photographs made late 1920s-1930s by Powell Press Service depicting people enjoying Santa Monica's beaches, clubs and outdoor recreation. An important subset within the collection is 407 negatives made ca. 1890 - 1908 by Los Angeles historian and amateur photographer George W. Hazard (1842-1914). Hazard travelled around Los Angeles and vicinity photographing the adobes, houses, streets and storefronts that told the early history of the city. Many of Hazard's negatives have handwritten identifications, naming streets, former homeowners, ranchos, and other historical details. There are a large number of cabinet cards and other card-mounted prints and stereographs. There are 1,264 stereograph prints, highlighted by the works of photographic pioneers William M. Godfrey, Francis Parker, Hayward & Muzzall, and Carleton Watkins. Other formats represented are: glass and film negatives; panoramic prints; 7 photograph albums, photographic postcards, 20th-century color prints and transparencies; and a small number of tintypes, cyanotypes and a set of chromolithographs.
