Scope and Contents
This subseries includes images from Taos area reservations in New Mexico as well as photographs of petroglyphs from Painted Desert, Arizona taken between December 1964 and January of 1965. There are also photographs from Painted Desert in Petrifies Forest National Park that were shot in January of 1966. These include images of "The Cliff" and "The Wash" sites. The Carters returned several times to the Painted Desert and not all the photographs were dated correctly. The photographs from Taos include images of the Carters host family with whom they stayed throughout the course of their work in New Mexico.
For descriptions of the Taos region photographs see Documents 102 and 111 (Box 2, Folder 7). Descriptions of "The Cliff" and "The Wash" petroglyphs in Painted Desert can be found in Documents 109 and 111 (Box 2, Folder 7).
