Photographs and slides used in presentations, computers and miscellaneous images
Scope and Contents
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.
