 Series

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The photographs and slides in this collection were extracted from Ms 625, the David C. Evans papers. Evans was a co-founder and chief officer of Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation in Salt Lake City, Utah, with which most of the papers in Ms 625 are concerned. As a result, the items in this photographic collection, for the most part, document the personnel, facilities, business activities and products of Evans & Sutherland. The bulk of this collection provides a view of the computer graphics capabilities of Evans & Sutherland products.

Box 1, folders 1-10 contain images of David C. Evans, his wife, and some colleagues; other Evans & Sutherland personnel, including Ivan Sutherland and other chief officers; and Evans & Sutherland production space and computer equipment. Folders 11-33 of this box contain images produced by Evans & Sutherland products, namely, Romulus, Novoview, the Picture System, Digistar, CT5 and Day/Nite CGI System.

Box 2, folders 1-6 contain photographs and slides used in Evans & Sutherland presentations to customers and other interested parties. Folders 7-11 contain illustration sets used for unidentified texts. Folders 12-33 hold miscellaneous images of computer graphics for which no product source is indicated, as do folders 1-6 in box 3.

Folders 7-20 in box 3 contain a miscellany of images concerned with the Evans & Sutherland Corporation and the computer graphics science and industry. Folders 21-32 contain photos, slides, and microfiche removed from various parts of Ms 625, as indicated below.
