James T. Buck family photograph albums
Visual Materials
A collection of 6 photograph albums and 1 scrapbook of clippings, 1910s-1930s, related to the family of James T. Buck, a newspaper publisher in Texas. The albums contain snapshots affixed with mounting corners, and some say "Mrs. J. T. Buck" inside the front cover. The photographs document the lives of a young, white, middle class couple, their children, extended family, and friends, mostly in Chillicothe or Crosbyton, Texas, with some images in California and a few other places. Only one album has captions; the others have no writing or identifications. Images show a house in the country, house interiors, children playing, pets, farm animals, family outings, cars, schools, and graduations, with the family seen over 20 or more years. African American children appear in some images: gathered in front of a house, with horses, a boy holding a white baby, and a girl standing in a road holding flowers. There are also photographic postcards of the public school in Chillicothe, Texas; the Chillicothe train depot; and a classroom of children. One scrapbook contains Crosbyton, Texas, newspaper clippings, approximately 1921-1926, regarding James T. Buck and other family members.

The Diaries series contains 22 diary transcripts of daily diary entries by Charlotte Close Knapp Dole, George H. Dole and Clara Rowell Dole (covering 1850-1884). Charlotte Dole's diary talks about her husband's work as a missionary, other missionaries, church meetings, the Punahou School, and Hawaiian royalty. George H. Dole's diaries include a trip to the United States in 18640-1865, as well as details about his work on several sugar and rice plantations including crop numbers, Chinese workers, effects of weather, etc., and events taking place in Hawaii. The Family Correspondence series contains 128 pieces of correspondence, the majority of which are written by Clara Rowell Dole to her husband, George, her sons, Walter and Herbert, and brother-in-law, Sanford B. Dole. Most of these letters were written from her home in Kapaa, Kauai, while her husband was away and her children were attending Oahu College (Punahou School). She talks about her daily activities, the school, her children, an outbreak of measles, the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese workers, and some about Hawaiian royalty and government. There are five letters written by Sanford B. Dole, three to his brother George and two to his nephew Walter, and he is the addressee of nine letters. The rest of the correspondence includes letters by Clara and George's children and family and friends. The majority of these letters written by their eldest son, Walter, are from his time at Cornell University. Details about ship arrivals and departures are included in both the diaries and correspondence series.
