The collection is an important tool for historical research, and its images have been published in numerous books and magazines. It also has been used in surprising ways, including scientific research and urban planning. Biologists studying sea mammal populations glean vital information from turn-of-the-century photographs of pinnipeds basking on Seal Rock, and early aerial views can be invaluable for both developers and environmentalists. In displays at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas and the History Channel and A&E television. A list of books and television programs have used photos from the photo collection. How did the California photograph collection get started? The photo collection was established on November 29, 1970, shortly after Pat's discharge from the Army. As fate would have it, while he was looking for a new direction, Jeanne Josselyn, the widow of early Carmel photographer Lewis Josselyn (1883-1964), was looking for a permanent home for her late husband's photo and negative collection of over 3,800 5"x7" glass plate, film negatives and original prints, this collection encompassed both Josselyn's work, Louis S. Slevin and other early Carmel photographers. That was the start of what is now a collection of over 1,100 photographers works and 81,955 historic images. At the time several local institutions failed to see the photo collection's potential and were reluctant to accept it; because it consisted primarily of large-format 5x7, 5x8, 6.5x8.5 & 8x10 and 11x14 glass negatives which were difficult to store and impossible to print with available contemporary enlargers. Determined that the immediate consideration was preserving the negative collection, Pat stepped in, saving over 3,800 5"x7" glass plate negatives and original prints from oblivion. Eventually, he found the large-format 10"x10" Durst enlarger needed to print the large format glass negatives, transforming the photo collection from a white elephant into a valuable California historical resource. If you have or know of any glass negatives or film negatives of Coastal California that need a home, please contact our archivist. How did the California photo collection grow? In the intervening years Monterey Photo Historian Pat Hathaway has been quite enterprising, always on the lookout for more images for his collection. Through his reputation as the guardian of the Monterey Peninsula's photographic heritage, as well as by searching out early photographers and their descendants through listings in an early phone book, haunting paper and ephemera shows, E-Bay and maintaining contact with vintage photograph dealers and owners of important collections, he has obtained important photo collections representing 19th- and 20th-century California photographers. Do you have a picture of my house? This may be one of the most frequently asked question we hear at California Views. There is a good chance that we have an image if you live in or near a noteworthy / historical site on the Monterey Peninsula on the California Central Coast. There is no database by address, but you are welcome call to make an Appointment to come in and look through our photo files. What does "Circa" mean ?
