This small collection contains three photo albums with photographs and 36 loose images
depicting central and southern Arizona scenes. Almost all the images are dated between
1936 and 1941 with the exception of 3-4 images in the back of scrapbook #2 showing the
flower gardens near South Mountain in Phoenix dated 1962. Many images in scrapbook #2
were hand tinted and have maintained their brilliant colors. A short manuscript contained in
folder 6 records the initial trip of Winifred Hopper to visit friends in Phoenix in 1935. All
three scrapbooks feature images associated with the Phoenix and central Arizona area. A few
images show San Xavier Mission in Tucson and the ruins at Tumacacori. Phoenix rodeo
parades, Roosevelt Dam, Apache Trail, Phoenix street scenes, Papago Park, the Mormon
Temple in Mesa, Coolidge Dam, the Grand Canyon, and the state capital building are some
of the subjects photographed. There are a few images in scrapbook #2 of Winifred Hopper
and numerous images showing hiking and group picnic scenes.
