Cathedral Valley--ADDENDUM II (Digital Only)

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 11-13

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: In addition to a few personal family portraits, the Charles Kelly collection contains photographs pertaining to western history and lore that were gathered during the course of his research for his books and articles. Included are pictures of Donner Summit and members of the Donner party, various outlaws of the West, and other men and women of western history.

During the summer of 2000 Capitol Reef National Park loaned the University of Utah five boxes of photographs and slides to scan. One box contained images of, and related to, Charles Kelly's service as the custodian of the park during the 1940s and 1950s. The Kelly images were added to the Charles Kelly photograph collection, P0100, in April 2003. The new digital images comprise the second addendum to the Kelly collection and are of various locations in and around the National Park. Included are images of Zion National Park, Grand Canyon, Goblin Valley, Cathedral Valley, Mountain Meadows, Fish Lake, and many other scenic southern Utah locations. The majority of the scans were taken from 35mm and Kodachrome slides dated during the 1940s and 1950s. Few of the slides had identification, when available the brief descriptions were included on the register below.

Capitol Reef retained the originals.
