Expeditions and Surveys
Series
Scope and Contents
Boxes 15 and 16 hold photographs taken by Stuart M. Young during the Byron Cummings Expedition. Cummings, a University of Utah professor, led an expedition for archaeological and anthropological studies into Navajo Country in 1909, during which his party "discovered" and named Rainbow Bridge. There are 175 photographs with negatives, as well as several similar photos without negatives. For many of the photographs there are duplicates, some of which may be original prints. Similar and duplicate photos are in box 16. The photographs are organized in their original trinomial system, where the first number (4200) indicates Utah, with the second number (109) being the survey number, and the third number (H) indicating the number of the photograph.
