Scope and Content of Series Series 6) PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS. Inman's collection of photographic prints, slides
and some contact sheets, arranged into four subseries. The series includes extensive
aerial photographs supporting Inman's coastline research, as well as subject and regional
photographic prints and slides. An additional selection of numbered teaching slides
is also included in this series, located in FB-79 – FB-81.
A) Aerial Photographs: Aerial view images, primarily of coastlines and the ocean off
California. The Aerial Photographs subseries also includes oversized aerial prints,
some of which were taken during United States Navy's sorties along the California
coast, dated circa 1955. Some of these are stamped "confidential" on the verso, however,
these photographs are all open for research. A link to Inman's California regional
index is near the top of the list.
B) Contact Prints and Negatives - Master Archive: This material, in boxes 252-255,
and box 139, complements images from Inman's "master" negative collection, which is
stored separately as SMC 141. It contains small contact prints of many negatives from
that collection, filed in corresponding indexed numbered order. It also includes negatives
that continue where SMC 141 ends, from the mid-1980s on. It is strongly recommended
that researchers look at the contact sheets before requesting negatives and/or scans
from SMC 141, to determine the quality of the image.
C) Subject Photographs and Slides: This run of photographic material was organized
numerically by subject by Inman, following a unique numbering scheme. Inman used an
identical, corresponding scheme to organize his subject files (see Series 4A. Numbered
Research Notes, which has a subject index guide at the top of the subseries list).
See keywords in description for assistance identifying the content. This subseries
includes many figures, charts, and graphs.
D) Regional Photographs and Slides: Regional material is arranged by Inman's codes
for regional prefixes. "C" materials reference California; a scanned guide to Inman's
indexing scheme for California is linking in the finding aid, and linked here . Includes photographs on the dunes of Baja California, Mexico.
