- Scope and Contents
- This subseries includes slides, negatives and photographic prints taken during various trips made by the Carters to examine and photograph petroglyphs in California between October of 1969 and August of 1970. This includes slides, negatives and photographic prints in both black and white and color. Following a short break during 1967 and 1968, the Carters returned to Arizona and New Mexico in January of 1969 to visit with families in the Taos and Santo Domingo Pueblos. In May 1969 they returned to Arizona staying in Moencopi (Moenkopi) village and the Hopi Reservation. In October, the Carters resumed their petroglyph work photographing petroglyphs at the Petroglyph Canyon and Etcheron Valley sites in California. They returned to the Coso Range in Californian in May of 1970 recording petroglyphs in Renegade Canyon and Darwin's Wash. In August 1970 they began using 35mm film to be used for educational programs at the museum, shooting the lava beds northeast of Bishop, California, and petroglyphs at Fish Slough, Chidago, Red Rock Canyon and Chalfant sites.
