Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The C. Gregory Crampton photograph collection illustrates the beauty and diversity of the American West. The collection includes approximately 9,150 photographs taken by Crampton and his professional colleagues, as well as copies of photographs taken by other photographers of the West, such as George Grant, Ben Wittick, and John Hillers. Those photos taken by Crampron are primarily proof or contact prints and are accompanied by negatives. Most of the photographs by other photographers are enlargements and do not inc1ude negatives. Where the negative is available, the print is marked with the designation Neg. Avail. When necessary, identification systems have been imposed to keep the photographs and their negatives coordinated as well as to a11ow for an index. However, the original titles or designations of the photographs have been maintained and form the organizational basis of the collection. With the exception of six glass slides and several color photos, an the photographs in the collection are black and white silver gelatin photographs.
