Series I: Photographs, 1966-1971

 Series
Call Number: WA Photos 466, Series I

Scope and Contents

This series consists of photographs created by Lewis that depict the activities of the National Farm Workers Association, 1966-1971. The photographs are chiefly black and white, but include a small portion of color images, which Lewis also printed in black and white. Many images are duplicated across the various subseries.

Many of the photographic prints in the Portfolios and Black and White Photographic Prints subseries have numbers written in pencil on their versos that reference the negative rolls for the original images, which are available in the Negative subseries, as well as their corresponding contact sheets in the Contact Sheets subseries. The sequence of these rolls within each subseries follow a roughly chronological arrangement.

Some photographic prints in the Portfolios and Black and White Photographic Prints subseries also have pencil inscriptions of filenames written in pencil on their versos that reference digital surrogates created by the Farmworker Movement Documentation Project. CD-ROMS with these digital surrogates are in Series II.
