Charles L. Bernheimer expedition photograph collection
Collection
Identifier: P0323
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of one photograph album with numbered black-and-white prints which document Bernheimer's expedition through parts of New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. It includes photographs of the men on the expedition, of archeological artifacts, bones, and ruins, as well as natural phenomena such as natural bridges, flora and fauna. For photographs of an earlier expedition through Southern Utah and Northern Arizona, see Bernheimer's book Rainbow Bridge (1924), available in Western Americana under the call number F 826 B47.
The register which came with the album has been edited to correct logistical errors. The original register is included in the folder containing this register.
These photographs were donated to the University of Utah by Dr. Jesse Jennings, who used the album during research of the Glen Canyon Project. His handwriting is noted near images of Moki Canyon. It is unconfirmed if he wrote the identities of the people in the album. The album's provenance previous to Dr. Jennings is unknown.
