Scope and Contents
This subseries includes color slides taken by the Carters on various trips to examine and photograph petroglyphs in Arizona and California between June of 1966 and January of 1967. It appears that there are only color slides from this time period. In June 1966 the Carters visited petroglyphs 8 miles downstream of the Parrot Ferry Bridge on the Stanislaus River in Calaveras County. They traveled on to Arizona and New Mexico in July of 1966 revisiting the Painted Desert and Newspaper Rock (in Petrified Forest national Park). In November of 1966 they returned to Barstow, California to view petroglyphs in Black Canyon in the Opal Mountains. They again returned to Arizona in December of 1966 through January of 1967 to photograph more petroglyphs in Petrified Forest National Park.
Descriptions of Stanislaus River, CA, Painted Desert and Newspaper Rock, AZ can be found in Document 111 (Box 2, Folder 7). Descriptions from Black Canyon (Opal Mountains), CA can be found in Document 37 (Box 2, Folder 4).
