This collection contains 209 photographs of families, residences, commercial and municipal buildings, and the natural environment of South Pasadena, the city and county of Los Angeles, and other locations chiefly in California, taken approximately 1887-1913, mostly by photographer T. D. Keith ([1848]-1896); one undated photograph is by Los Angeles photographer Elkanah P. Tresslar, and other images taken after Keith's death are by an unidentified photographer. Photographs chiefly show South Pasadena residents and residences, including Keith's home and family and other families; many of the photographs provide a glimpse of clothing and dress styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Photographs also depict South Pasadena buildings and scenes; various views of the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles; Santa Catalina Island; the Tournament of Roses Parade in 1901 in Pasadena; a few photographs showing scenes from San Diego County and the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906; and individual images of the San Juan Capistrano Mission and of a street scene in Tijuana, Mexico. The photographs are chiefly later prints from glass-plate negatives and, to a lesser extent, from copy film negatives.
