Roy Gibson photograph collection

 Collection
Identifier: P0358

Scope and Contents

The photographs in this collection document a wide variety of Utah related subjects, politicians, and political visitors that Gibson was interested in, often with original negatives available. Many of the images were submitted for use to Time Magazine, although documentation within the folders shows that most were returned unused. While the bulk of the photographs date in the late 1960s, there are some copy prints of 19th Century photographs.

Section 1 is contained entirely in Box 1, and is an alphabetical file of photographs of individuals relating to Utah, mainly politicians. Where the photographs were dated, they were filed chronologically within the folder.

Section 2 begins in Box 1 and is completed in Box 2, and is an alphabetical file of subjects, mainly relating to Utah with the exception of a series on the development of the Stock Market in New York City. As with section 1, they are filed chronologically within the folder when possible.
