From the Collection:
Albuquerque High School students with science experiment. Part of the E.R. Harrington Pictorial Collection PICT 000-299 (Box 1, Folder 4).
This collection contains items pertaining to E.R. Harrington as well as those originally belonging to his mother, Isis L. Harrington. Among the contents related to Isis Harrington are manuscripts from her publications (poetry and stories following Native American themes), as well as manuscripts of oral narratives collected by her Native American students from their grandparents. Several of these appear (in some cases with the names of their original narrators) in Isis Harrington's book Told In the Twilight. Also included in this collection are watercolors and other illustrations to her books done by Quannie (a Hopi artist) and Juan Chiquito (a Navajo artist).
E.R. Harrington's papers housed in this collection are extensive, and include a great deal of historical material drawn from his tenure as a teacher throughout many years at Albuquerque High School. This collection also contains numerous articles written by E.R. Harrington relating to his scientific interests, such as geology (Black Butte, Black Mesa, and the Shoshone Ice Caves of Idaho), science and mathematics in high school, educational policy, physical chemistry (the colloid properties of western clays), meteorology, fiction, mining, physics, engineering, archaeology, irrigation, meteorology, and geography. These topics are reflected in his writing (both published and unpublished) which comprise the majority of this collection.
His contributions to numerous scholarly journals are also kept in this collection. Such journals include The Journal of Geology, The Journal of Geography, Engineering and Mining Journal, Engineering News Record, Scientific Monthly, Journal of Chemical Education, the Journal of Physical and Colloid Chemistry, and many others. Though he published prolifically, E.R. Harrington's record of unsuccessful publications is also manifest in this collection through numerous rejection letters from assorted journals and magazines.
E.R. Harrington's correspondence with several former students is also kept in this collection along with biographical data on many of those students in their adult years. The esteem that E.R. Harrington earned in their eyes is manifest in numerous letters as well as in a few articles written about him.
Several items from E.R. Harrington's personal library also from part of this collection.
