Fred Harvey Company Association files, ca. 1890-ca. 1950.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56724944

An artificial subject file documenting the Fred Harvey Company assembled by the Heard Museum from a variety of repositories and other sources. Includes vintage and modern copy photographs. The materials relate to three broad topics, the Fred Harvey Fine Arts Collection, primarily documenting objects in the collection; the Fred Harvey Company's establishments and services and its association with the Santa Fe Railway; and Native Americans, primarily tribes of the Southwest. Vintage photographs were likely used by the Harvey Company in publicity efforts to promote tourism in the Southwest. These images typically show a romantic view of Native Americans. Copy photographs were likely acquired by the Heard Museum for use in publications and exhibitions relying on the Harvey collection. Many photographs by Karl Moon, who operated a photographic studio at El Tovar until the mid 1910s. Other notable photographers include Edward S. Kemp and W. Henry Brown. A few photographs were made by Odd S. Halseth, and others show coarse mounts characteristic of his style.

ca. 775 photographic prints, most gelatin silver ; most 8 x 10 in. or smaller.
