Stewart Edward White photograph collection
Visual Materials
A collection of approximately 1,800 photographs, almost all taken by Stewart Edward White during his outdoor recreational travels in Africa, the United States, and Canada. The prints are primarily 3 x 5 inches or smaller, with a few larger, mounted photographs. Many have handwritten captions in White's hand on the back, along with chapter or article numbers. The Africa photographs depict White and others on safari, posing with killed animals, as well as African men and women and natural scenery. Some of these images were used in the following books by White: The Land of Footprints (1912), African Camp Fires (1913), The Rediscovered Country (1915), and Lions in the Path (1926). Other photographs depict White in the army at Camp Kearny, San Diego; the Bohemian Grove, California and participants; fishing and boating in the Sierras, and a photograph of Native Americans in Yosemite. The second series consists of film stills from two movies based on White's novels: Call of the North (1921) and The Leopard Woman (1920).

Titus Ranch photograph album, (bulk 1911-1915)
Visual Materials
An album of 70 mounted photographs and 19 loose photographs depicting ranching and agricultural activities at Titus Ranch, San Gabriel Valley, California in the early 20th century. The ranch was named for Luther H. Titus (1822-1900), who bought the property in San Gabriel and what is now San Marino in the late 19th century; it was primarily devoted to citrus orchards and the breeding of fine horses. The album appears to have been compiled by someone closely affiliated with the ranch, as there are many handwritten identifications, and an image of men on horses is captioned "Our cowboys." A series of 8 x 10-inch photographs depict overviews of the ranch buildings over time, from 1890 to 1914. The bulk of the album depicts people and activities on the ranch between 1911 and 1915, including: plowing fields with teams of horses and also with farm machinery; farmworkers and crops; livestock; stables and portraits of horses; young men in suits posed with cars on the ranch; cowboys branding cattle; barns, and a large two-story residence called "Whitehall Estate." A group of loose snapshots of the ranch and ranchers are dated 1913 to 1937.
