- Scope and Contents
- This Series includes photographic prints, negatives and slides taken by Ernest and Eloise between 1950 and 1976 in Bolivia, Mexico and the American Southwest. This series is organized into four subseries: Subseries 1.1: Mexico and Bolivia, Landscapes and People, 1950-1951, 1964; Sub Series 1.2: US Southwest: Landscapes and Petroglyphs, 1964-1973; Sub Series 1.3: Object Photography: Kachinas, Pottery, Baskets, 1967-1975; Sub Series 1.4: Educational materials and Other Selected Studies, 1970-1973. The bulk of the collection is from the work the Carters did between 1964 and 1975 photographing petroglyph and pictograph sites in Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado (Subseries 1.2). There is also a signficant amount of object photography documenting the Carters large collection of Kachinas, pottery, baskets and other materials. The photographs in this series were sent to the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation over the course of ten years, often with corresponding documentation. It has been noted where to find accompanying documents (in Series 2) which often have additional descriptions and information about what is photographed.
