Desert Magazine photograph collection, 1938-1976

The photographs in this collection were for the most part used as illustrations in articles in the magazine. In most instances, a photocopy of the page on which the photograph appeared in he magazine is included with the photo, thus giving not only identification of the individual image but provenance for how the image was used. Some of the photographs are by Henderson but some are from other sources, and for those images identified by photographer, copyright restrictions apply. Permission must be obtained before any use of these photographs. After some deliberation, it was decided to arrange the images alphabetically by subject. Where a group of images belong to a specific article, they are found together in a single folder; but others are in their subject groupings. The symbol {**} indicates that a photocopied page is found in the folder which gives more information about how and sometimes when the photograph was used in the magazine. Photographs with captions will appear in quotes ("__"), and if a photographer is listed on the back of the photograph, the name will appear with the entry in brackets, i.e. [N.P.S. photo], but addresses and other personal information will not be included. If there is no caption but the subject of the photograph is common knowledge [i.e., Delicate Arch], this will be included as well. In some cases, two captions are found; one on the back of the photograph, and one from the photocopied page in the magazine. In such cases, the caption found on the back of the photograph will be used. If there is no caption on the back of the photograph, the one from the magazine page will be used. Finally, some of the captions are incorrect, and corrections will be given as [SIC:...].
