Scope and Contents

Series XII, Oversize Materials, includes one scrapbook/photo album containing clippings, tickets, passes, etc. from his around-the-world trip, and one photo album attributed to William A.

There are several panoramic views of the Continental Divide 1911-1912, and photographs of employees in Hall's Shiraz and Meshed (Persia) offices, and a photo of the 1944 eruption of Vesuvius.

Eight documents accompanying Hall's awards and medals are also filed in this series.

Collection History

Appraisal

About 14 maps were transferred to the Maps Division of the Geology Library (now Maps and Geospatial Information Center) in 1991. No other information about appraisal is available for this collection.

Processing Information

This collection was initially processed in the 1970s. Subsequent processing by Barbara Bennet in 1991 resulted in an updated finding aid, series-level description, and container lists.
