Robert E. Ramsey photograph collection, 1865-2002 [photographs].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/241333495

The collection contains correspondence, ephemera, and photographs. The correspondence consists of letters written by the United States' Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Gila River Pima-Maricopa Community Council to Ramsey's father, Eddie E. Ramsey, regarding his service as a teacher for the Pima Indian Reservation in Arizona. The ephemera includes articles written by Ramsey for the spring 2002 edition of The journal of Arizona history. The articles chronicle his experiences growing up on the Pima Indian Reservation in Sacaton, Arizona. The titles include: My God, Eddie, what will we do?; and: An oasis in the desert. The photograph collection contains pictures from his published book, An oasis remembered: an Indian agency, Sacaton, Arizona: a pictorial and historical review about the place and its people, which recounts the 1920's-1940's history of Sacaton. In addition to his personal family photos, many of these photographs were given to Ramsey by families who lived in Sacaton during that era. The photographs are divided by family collections: the Ramsey, Schuler, Peebles, Parker, Dedera, Fontana, Robinson, and Waddle Collections. Additionally, there is one photograph Ramsey used from the Casa Grande Valley Historical Society.
