Introduction/ Scope and contents

The Center of Southwest Studies has provided digital access to the pages of  photos in nine albums documenting Ansel Hall's Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expeditions of 1933-34 (approximately 2,000 sepia toned black and white photographs).  These photos present an Anglo pioneer's early view of indigenous Native American life in the Four Corners region.  The photos show the young white men who went on this expedition (funded by the Ford Motor Company), and they also show Native Americans in pre-Western settings.  (Click on the image to the right to view a photo from this collection: Everett Ruess and an unidentified shirtless man tugging a burro at Monument Valley, circa 1934-36.)

Ansel Hall (1894-1962) probably contributed more than any other individual to the formation and early growth of the interpretive work of the National Park Service.  He left the Park Service in 1938 to operate the concessions in Mesa Verde National Park.  William and Merrie (daughter of Mr. Hall) Winkler donated this collection to the Center of Southwest Studies on September 17, 1992 (accession 1992:09003).

Through its partnership with the Colorado Digitization Program (CDP -- now the ) the Center of Southwest Studies has digitized many thousands of images selected from a number of collections, for viewing on the Web for educational purposes and research.  To search for digital images at the Center of Southwest Studies and elsewhere, go to


The CDP is supported through a National Leadership Grant to the University of Denver Penrose Library from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (a federal grant-making agency in Washington, D.C., which fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime of learning, by supporting museums and libraries) with additional assistance from the Colorado State Library, and the Colorado Regional Library Systems.

The Center chose these photo album pages for digitization because of their national significance and due to the preservation problems they face.  Many decades ago, the Rainbow Bridge photos were glued to acidic pages using rubber cement.  As those photos fall off there was a danger of losing the identifying descriptions that were written on those pages.  The remainder of this collection has been reboxed archivally. 

Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition photo albums overview and entry points:

  Photos by Robert B. Branstead, starts with page 7 (we did not scan the preceding pages, which were stuck together as a result of  water damage) through page 98.

  Photos by Robert B. Branstead, continues from Vol. 1 with with page 99 and goes through 168 (we excluded pages 169 and 170, which were water damaged and illegible)

  Photos by Robert B. Branstead; the pages were not numbered originally; we have numbered the pages starting with page 1 and going through the last page [82].

Leica photos by Clifford Bond, starts with an introduction page, then page numbers 1 through 106.

(We have no Vol. 5)  -- but see also Air views of Monument Valley and Navajo mountain region by F. Linden Naylor, pilot for the expedition.  This volume, donated by his grandson Doug Levy, contains 44 distinct aerial photos taken during the Expedition of 1933.  Mr. Levy wrote (email on November 6, 2002 to Todd Ellison) that “My grandfather was quite a pilot--he and my step-grandmother made a trans-continental flight in an open cockpit bi-plane.  Somewhere in Arizona there's a Naylor Field.  He served in Morocco in the early years of World War II as a colonel in the Mediterranean Allied Air Force.”   The photos are numbered and captioned.  (See list of titles, below.)  Each photo measures 160 x 120 mm.  The album contains a total of 71 photoprints, including duplicates.  Not yet digitized.  (Accession 2002:11004)

Aerial photos by Thorn L. Mayes, starts with page 491 and goes through page 629.  Thorn Mayes (1903-ca. 1988) "headed the mapping efforts of the expeditions.  His aerial photography was as significant an innovation as Robert Brewster Stanton's photography of the Grand Canyon when surveying his would-be route for a rail line." (per email 1/17/2002 from Alfred E. Holland, Jr., History Department, California State University, Sacramento)

  Photos by Clifford Bond dated 10/23/1934; the pages were not numbered originally; we have numbered the pages, starting with page 1 and going through the last page (82).

Leica photos by Clifford Bond dated 10/19/1934; the pages were not numbered originally; we have numbered the pages, starting with page [0] and going through the last page (91).

  Photos by [Grace?] Hoover, 1934, pages not numbered; we have numbered the pages, starting with page  #1 and going through the last page

Aerial photos by Ansel Hall, 1934, pages not numbered; the pages are numbered by the Center of Southwest Studies starting with page #2 and going through the last page
