Series Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Series contains photographs of dams, reservoirs, and other water-related structures in California. The photographs were taken, titled, dated, and numbered by Huber. Approximately half of the photos are 4 x 6 inch prints, the other half are 3.5 x 5 inch. Negatives exist for all photographs.

One photograph in this series contains a title that includes derogatory language. UCR Library has chosen to keep and add context to Huber’s use of outdated terminology. The title reflects the place name in use at the time the photograph was taken. It also informs researchers how Huber organized and annotated his photographs. In 2023, notes were added to the finding aid for further context, including reference to US government orders regarding derogatory place names.
