Photographs of Dr. John Henry Nauerth, Ida May Clow Nauerth, the Nauerth Family, the Clow Family, Dr. Nauerth's pharmacy, and interiors of the Nauerth family home. The content includes studio portraits, snapshots, Dr. Nauerth's trips to Arizona and "the West" in 1907 and 1911, Nauerth family-related buildings in Traer, IA, and a home in Wisconsin. 

Box 1 (continued)

Jack Ellis Haynes (1884-1962) is the subject of these photographs. They represent almost his entire life, missing only a combined period of three years between his birth and his death. He is seen in studio portraits and snapshots and in a variety of settings. The locations include the University of Minnesota and YNP, with many photographs concerning the Mammoth area of the park and the Haynes home and studio there. Additional photographs include snapshots of JEH receiving an Honorary Doctorate from Montana State University, working indoors and outdoors, and JEH performing an activity which was very much his own - smoking a cigar in a pipe.

Box 2

While not as temporally expansive as the group of photographs concerning JEH, this group does show aspects of life as a collegiate woman and YNP employee in the first third of the twentieth century. Isabel May Nauerth Haynes (1899-1993), the second wife of JEH, is seen in studio portraits, snapshots, and Haynes photographs of Roosevelt Lodge employees. Locations and activities include Glacier National Park, The Desert Inn, The University of Oregon, and Washington, D.C., and awarding of an Honorary Doctorate to JEH from Montana State University in June, 1960. This last is the only photograph in this group known to have been taken after 1930.

Box 2 (continued)

The only child of JEH and IMH, Lida Marie Haynes (1931-1952) was photographed throughout her life, short as it was. The volume of photographs with Lida as the subject is surpassed only by that group relating to her father and is equally, if not more, representative of her life. Photographs of Lida were taken indoors and outdoors, posed and candid. Her active and privileged lifestyle is easily seen in the number of photos devoted to skiing and horses, two of her life's passions. She is also seen in educational settings, from kindergarten in St. Paul, MN, to college at the University of Colorado, Boulder (mainly portraits). Of particular note is a card-mounted Detroit Photographic Company chromolithograph, signed by William H. Jackson.

Box 3

Photographs in this group represent the effective dates that the Jack E. Haynes family existed as a unit. The photographs range from a photograph of JEH and IMH taken almost one year before their marriage to a photograph of JEH and IMH taken one year prior to the JEH's death. This group is possibly the most candid in the collection as it, with few exceptions, contains only snapshots. consisting of photographs of the Haynes' wedding, the Haynes' family and friends with Lida, the ceremony celebrating the Yellowstone Park Stamp (1934), interiors of the family's residence at Mammoth, and JEH and IMH during the later part of their life together.

Box 3 (continued)

Snapshots and portraits of various friends of JEH and IMH give a very good impression of the social groups to which the Haynes family belonged. The Haynes are seen in the company of historian Merrill Burlingame, geologist C. Max Bauer, photographer and illustrator William H. Jackson, Mary L. Doane (widow of Gustavus Doane), YNP Superintendent and National Park Service (NPS) Director Horace Albright, and others. Studio portraits, mostly signed, include Horace Albright, Stephen Mather (first NPS Director), among others. Locations include the Haynes' residence at Mammoth, Canyon Hotel, Glacier National Park, and YNP.

Box 4

The collection of photographs grouped under the title "Yellowstone National Park" includes works from many sources, including FJH and JEH among others. The topics include YNP, the West (both literally and figuratively), materials separated from Collection 1504 (Jack Ellis Haynes and Haynes Inc. Papers), and photographs of features in YNP which, at the time the pictures were taken, were unnamed. The subject matter, while generally associated with YNP and its relevance in understanding the concept of "the West", is varied, to say the least. Subjects include YNP features, souvenir plates, a photograph of the driver log and first automobile to enter YNP, and a portrait of Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Interior to Thomas Jefferson and namesake of Gallatin County, MT. This variety of subject matter, while appearing overly inclusive, does provide a view, albeit slightly disjointed, of a cross section of society in the West and, specifically, in YNP.

For reasons explained in Series III: Oversized Photographs, some photographs related this Series can be found in Series III, Group 2: Other Topics.
 

This collection of photographs exhibits several facets of YNP: the employees, the features, the history, and animals. With the temporal range of photographs, the period of the Haynes/YNP relationship is well represented. Within this group are images related to early YNP travel and lodging, the first visit by a United States President (Chester A. Arthur, 1883), a visit by President Theodore Roosevelt, a photo-survey of the boundaries of YNP, and the unrelated deaths of two military officers in the 1940's. Also included are several photographs of NPS superintendents, rangers, and other employees.

Box 4 (continued)

Possibly the most diverse group in Collection 1507, this group includes photographs of many different, and seemingly unrelated, subjects. Most photographs are of YNP and the immediate area. Among the subject locations are Bozeman, MT, Livingston, MT, Montana State University, and the Beartooth Highway between Red Lodge and Cooke City, MT. Photographs related to the "West" include "Cabinet and Boudoir"-style photographs of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and hand-colored photographs of the desert surrounding Palm Springs, California.

Notable in this group are black-and-white photographs of 42 paintings by William H. Jackson given to JEH by the artist. This collection of Jackson's work, supposedly represents the entirety of the artist's work. Each image in this collection has a title or descriptive note apparently written by the artist.

Of additional interest to a researcher are several HPS "index image" type photographs. These photographs have as subjects: the "Haynes Souvenir Folder" of fold-out postcards; 50 sepia postcards, apparently from the "100-series"; the "1921 Haynes Post Cards" series with 5-digit identification numbers, identifying them as being from the "10000-series"; and 50 Haynes Postcards, also from 1921 and from the "10000-series".

Box 5

This group of photographs and other images is heavily related to Collection 1504, "Jack Ellis Haynes Papers and Haynes Inc. Papers". The subject matter is as varied as that seen in the documents included in Coll. 1504 and it is equally representative of the history of a business concessionaire in YNP. This group can provide a broad view into the history of numerous topics, from YNP to HInc to HPS to the settling of the West. Portraits and snapshot subjects include British Earl and sportsman Lord Dunraven, William H. Jackson, Secretary of the Interior Albert Gallatin, and scenes in Virginia City, MT. Each entry in this group includes the Coll. 1504 box and folder number from which the photo was taken.

Notable in this collection is a series of images of "Winter Views" of YNP. Each photograph is a copy of the original image, but each represents a different appearance (i.e. - coloring, texture, etc.) due to the use of different processes when producing the photograph from a negative. Presumably, this was done in order to show the types of prints which could be ordered through HInc and HPS.

Box 6

This group is a series of undated photographs taken of several features in YNP. While these features had no names at the times of the production of these photographs, it may be possible to identify these photographs from comparing the images and their descriptive titles to current knowledge of land and water features in YNP.

Box 6 (continued)

The photographs in Series III include documents, drawings, and photographs pertaining to subjects included in both Series I and Series II. The reason for the separation of these images and documents from the above Series appears to be the simple fact that they were mounted in frames at the time of processing. These images and documents have been removed from their frames and have been organized with similar, related materials.

These materials, related to Series I: Haynes Family, include documents, drawings, and photographs pertaining to members or friends of the Haynes Family from the period 1890-1961. Of particular interest in this group are college pictures of JEH, an image of Fritz Schlanze's "Map of Yellowstone Park", and a snapshot of JEH posed with several cameras in 1960. In the latter, the cameras are representative of the changing level of photography technology used in photographing YNP.

Box 7

Materials in this group, related to Series II: Yellowstone National Park, include documents, drawings, and photographs pertaining to JEH, YNP, and HPS. Among these are photographs of Haynes' pictures used in magazines and newspapers around the country.

Box 8

This Series consists of images which are largely commercial in their origins and are representative of the types of photographs which would have been the only means to experience the "West" for many people unable to travel to YNP or other locations in the region. Additionally, these photos served as the source of income for many photographers, including William H. Jackson, FJH, and JEH. These photos, taken in the service of the government (Department of the Interior, the NPS, YNP), the various railroad companies, HInc, HPS, or any other interested agency, enabled the photographers both to continue their individual careers and to capture the period on film.

The Detroit Photographic Company (1890s-1932) was created in the late 1890s by Detroit businessman and publisher William A. Livingstone, Jr., and photographer and photo-publisher Edwin H. Husher. The company obtained the exclusive rights to use the Swiss "Photochrom" process for converting black-and-white photographs to color prints. This process permitted the mass production of color postcards, prints, and albums for sale to the American market.

In the fall of 1897, Livingstone persuaded the accomplished American landscape photographer William Henry Jackson to become a partner in the firm. With the addition of his negatives, the Detroit Photographic Company began to produce chromolithographs of the West. These images included many he had taken over a twenty year period in the West, including many photographs which had influenced the creation of YNP and other early national parks. In 1898, Jackson became the president of the company. He would hold this position until its dissolution in 1923.

The chromolithographs in this group include many images of YNP, Native Americans, and a variety of landscape features throughout the West. Locations include YNP, Chicago, Illinois, San Diego, California, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Mexico.

Box 8 (continued)

Box 9

The prints in this group are representative of the work of several artists and production techniques and would have been available from many commercial sources, including HInc. and HPS. The artists include William H. Jackson, JEH, O.C. Seltzer, Harrison Crandall, and others. Of note in this group is a number of illustrations related to the Indian Wars which are from Harper's Weekly and have been colored-in by hand.

Box 9 (continued)

One of the sources of income for HPS was the sale of reproduction artwork by the artist Charles M. Russell. This group includes 78 images presumably kept on file for reference.

Box 10

HInc and HPS Photographs of YNP waterfalls that have been hand-colored. These appear to be mounted in order to be used as display works at Haynes stores in YNP.

Box 10 (continued)

This extensive group (212 images) consists of "cabinet and boudoir" photographs taken during FJH's employment as the official photographer for the NPRR. Among the images are photographs of the Broadwater Hotel, Helena, MT (1216-1225), YNP (1226-1236), and Montana and the Badlands (1284-1294). Individual photographs include one of Bozeman, MT taken from the Northern Pacific Railroad Station (1362) and one of the mill in Manhattan, MT (1385).

Box 11

The Haynes family maintained numerous photograph albums. 22 of these albums are included in this Series. The photographs in these albums represent much of the lives and work of several members of the Haynes Family, including FJH, JEH, IMH, Lida, and members of the Nauerth Family. As can be expected, the majority of these pictures are directly related to YNP. Additional locations include Montana State University, Mt. Rushmore, Glacier National Park, Banff National Park, Canada, Bozeman, MT, Palm Springs, CA, St. Paul, MN, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, and Virginia. Individuals included, other than Haynes Family members, are Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Roosevelt, Horace Albright, and Samuel Woodring. The Disbound Albums are simply that, albums which have not been bound, have been removed from their bindings, or photographs which have been removed from the album they were in. The Bound Albums are still in their original bindings.

The three Disbound Albums include numerous subjects. The first focuses on Lida Haynes and the second is a photographic record of the Haynes' Mammoth home and their collection of American Indian artifacts. The third album, the most varied in subject, covers approximately 35 years of the life of IMH (ca.1905-ca.1940, including her childhood, her time at YNP, Palm Springs, and Lida's childhood. The numbering of photographs in the first and third albums is in the same style as the rest of Collection 1507 (by individual photographs). The second album is numbered by individual leaves. The second album is also very notable due to the photographs by JEH and the illustration and notes by Fritz Schlanze.
