Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection contains photographs of Hispanic and Native Americans, landscapes, and cultural life of New Mexico from the 1920s to approximately 1945. Most of the printed photographs are duplicates of lantern slide images, some of which are hand-colored. The slides of principle tourist attractions in New Mexico were used to illustrate Mrs. DeHuff's lectures at La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe for the Fred Harvey Company's Indian Detours excursions. Native American material is extensive and covers most pueblos in New Mexico, as well as Hopi, Ute, and Navajo tribes. Also included are images of Indian artists Fred Kabotie and Maria and Julian Martinez. The collection also contains photos of Mrs. DeHuff, her family, and friends. A later addition (Folder 71) contains illustrations by Indian and non-Indian artists for children's books by Elizabeth DeHuff. Some of these are Gisella Loeffler, Jose Rey Toledo, and Dorothy N. Stewart. There is also a fold-out titled "Inter-Tribal Ceremonial/Gallup, New Mexico" with screen print illustrations by Indian artists Velino Herrera (Ma-Wi-Pe) and others. Also contains picture of Steve Honani Tawie.
