Scope and Content

From the Collection: The collection is comprised of photographic prints taken by Colonel Benjamin Talley during a 1937 trip to New Mexico and the Southwest with Manila Talley. The subjects are primarily people and places. Portraits of people include formal poses and informal snapshots of groups and individuals, along with people in action (dancing, parading, competing, weaving, camping), with a number of photographs taken at the Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup, N.M. A few of the location views are identified, including structures and ruins of ancestral Puebloans at Bandelier, Chaco, Mesa Verde and Puye. Other locations include contemporary Pueblos and towns such as Acoma, Isleta, Laguna, and Taos. Views include general views of villages and closer views of structures. Many of the views are unidentified locations, and may include Hopi villages.

The collection is comprised of monochromatic prints, primarily silver gelatin prints in two formats: 5 x 7 inch stereo views and 3 x 4 inch prints.
