Prisoners outside an earth lodge, possibly in New Mexico, 1930
Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Content Warning
Racist, colonialist, and sexist language were used to describe many of the items in this collection. In some cases, descriptions were creator-supplied or generated from transcriptions of captions on the photographs. In other cases, in which photographs lacked any identifying information, descriptions were created by an archivist. These items are identified in the description with the note, "Cataloger supplied title." However, the collection is a candidate for ongoing reparative description work. We hope that researchers will engage in a dialogue with staff about issues in the collection and changes that could help.
- Scope and Contents
Cataloger supplied title. One of four photographs labeled "Prison camp, Spanish American War?" by a former owner. Written on verso: "Prison camp." Formerly part of the Gladys Gilmour Collection of New Mexico Photographs.
- Arrangement
Photographs aquired prior to 2015 are arranged by size and format. Photographs acquired after 2015 are arranged in the order in which they were accessioned.
