Leimomi Fujimoto photograph album, (bulk 1943-1948)
Visual Materials
A personal photograph album compiled by Japanese American teenager Leimomi Fujimoto, documenting her junior high and high school years in Hawaii during the World War II era. The album begins in 1943, when she is in the eighth grade, and continues through her years at St. Anthony High School, a Catholic school in Wailuku, Maui. She and her friends are seen enjoying activities such as football games, birthday parties, and beach outings, and there are many portraits of Fujimoto and her school friends. Some snapshots were taken on visits to natural landmarks and downtown buildings in the Kahului area of Maui. Throughout the album are Fujimoto's expressive handwritten captions, which include many names of people and places. There are also photographs of her family, teachers, and her future husband, Vincent "Buzz" Sills, who is named as Fujimoto's groom in a wedding announcement clipping laid in the album. Other clippings highlight Fujimoto's many social activities, such as being a song leader in high school, attending the junior prom (where she was a member of the royal court), completing a Hula dancing course, and serving as maid of honor in a wedding. The album ends around 1948, after her high school graduation, but several laid-in photographs are dated later, depicting Fujimoto's marriage and her children. Notably, the album demonstrates Fujimoto's relative freedom living under the martial law imposed on the Hawaiian Islands during World War II, in contrast to the internment of Japanese Americans in the Western United States.

[Photograph album of the Grove family of Ferne House]
Visual Materials
Scrapbook and photograph album containing pasted photographic prints primarily of carte-de-visite portrait views of various men, women, and children, some in groups, including members of the Grove family and associated families in England, dating from approximately the late 1850s to the late 1860s, as well as portrait views of British royalty, religious and political leaders, and authors and artists. The album also contains pasted illustrations primarily of animals, religious and sentimental scenes, and photographs of buildings including Ferne House, the residence of Dr. John Grove in Donhead St. Andrew, Wiltshire, England, and churches, university buildings, an 1867 wedding party, a croquet game, and European travel destinations. Many of the images have handwritten identifications and some of the images are adorned with original artwork including decorative, hand-colored borders. The album was presumably created by a member of the Grove family, perhaps Emma Philippa Grove (1837-1825), and the portraits focus on the families of the children of Dr. John Grove and Jean Fraser Grove: Louise Grove Selwyn and her husband Frederick Selwyn; Henrietta Grove Hussey and her husband James Hussey; Thomas Fraser Grove and his wife Katherine O'Grady Grove; Helen Sophia Ross and her husband John Ross, and Emma Philippa Grove. Three loose items are tucked into the volume.
