Expeditions and Surveys
Series
Scope and Contents
From 1957-1963, Dr. Crampton led thirteen expeditions into Glen Canyon to survey and record the historical significance of sites that would soon be obscured by Lake Powell. Although David E. Miller is the photographer on a selection of the photos, the majority of the 2,033 photographs, which are accompanied by their negatives, were taken by Crampton. The photographs incompletely span historical sites 1-268, with 75 sites not included, and are organized in a fashion similar to the Byron Cummings photographs, with the original trinomial system including the state number (4200), the survey number (110), and the historical site number (HS).
