It appears that PP made copy negatives and prints for most of the images that were not studio portraits with notable exceptions listed below. These seem to be ones that he attributed to a source/collection indicating that he probably borrowed them and then returned the originals to the owner. I think PP used these small stickers for the images he obtained early in his collecting period and the practice probably tapered off as he began filing images by photographer, when known. This makes it possible (for many images) to link a database record to an image in PP/B. That number nearly always corresponds to the number that is noted as the pp000 number in the “notes” field in the HSU Palmquist database, but some of the mismatches are due to PP having more than one numbering sequence. Many images in PP/B have a small white sticker on verso with a handwritten number. In the interests of time I paid close attention only to those that were not studio portraits. For the portion of collection that I had with me there (about 1500 images that PP had filed by photographer) I did find about 10 instances where there was information that was in addition to what we already had. I wanted to see if there was information connected to individual images that was above and beyond what we had at for each image at HSU. PP/HSU refers to the Palmquist Collection at Cal Poly Humboldt The Relationship Between The Two Palmquist Collections PP/B refers to the Palmquist Collection at the Beinecke, Though I worked quickly I was able to review only about half of the Northwest California material. This was an advantage for me since I was familiar with them in that arrangement. While I was at the Beinecke this goal was expanded to include identifying groups of photographs that would fill in gaps in photograph collections in Humboldt County repositories.Īt the Beinecke I surveyed dozens of boxes of photographs that are still arranged just as Peter had them at his Arcata home.
