Schaefer,Andrea Gray Stillman | 176 pages | 03 May 2011 | Little, Brown & Company | 9780316056410 | English | New York, United States Ansel Adams in Color by Ansel Adams Ansel Adams never made up his mind about color photography. Long before his death in at age 82, he foresaw that this "beguiling medium" might one day replace his cherished black and white. In notes tentatively dated tohe observed that "color photography is rapidly becoming of major importance. Yet he once likened working in Ansel Adams in Color to playing an out-of-tune piano. America's regnant Western landscape photographer tried to control every step of picture-making, but for much of his lifetime too many stages of the color process were out of his hands. Kodachrome—the first mass-market color film, introduced in —was so complicated that even Adams, a darkroom wizard, had to rely on labs to develop it. Color printing was a crapshoot in the s and '50s. Reproductions in magazines and books could be garish or out of register. Before the s, black-and-white film often actually yielded subtler, less exaggerated pictures of reality. Still, Adams' misgivings did not prevent him from taking hundreds of color transparencies. As he traveled the country on commercial assignments or on Guggenheim Fellowships—a project to celebrate the national parks—he often took pictures in color as well as black and white. A generous selection of Ansel Adams in Color Kodachromes, most created between andappears in a new book, Ansel Adams in Colorrevised and expanded from the edition, with laser scans that might have met even his finicky standards.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreements between The Regents of the University of California and Denny Shaffer, dated August 9, 2003.

Farquhar SIERRA CLUB MOUNTAINEER AND EDITOR An Interview Conducted by Ann and Ray Lage Sierra Club History Commit tee San Francisco, California Sierra Club San Francisco, California copyright@1974 by Sierra Club All rights reserved PREFACE Francis Peloubet Farquhar, honorary president of the Sierra Club, is clearly its most distinguished member in modern times. He started early, of course, just as he did on the first ascent of the Middle Palisade. Born in Newton, Massachusetts, on New Year's Eve of 1888, he graduated from Harvard in 1909 and joined the Sierra Club in California only two years later. That first summer on the High Trip, and later, he learned much of the lore of the-sierra from such leaders as John Muir, Will Colby, and Little Joe LeConte. California and its great natural resources fascinated Francis so much that he delved so deeply into its history that he became a high authority, and later president-of the California ~istoricalsociety. His books, of great interest to club members, included Place Names of the High Sierra (1919-26) ,,L& and Down California ---in1860-1864, -The Journal of wlllir~. Brewer (1930), History --of the Sierra Nevada (196F), and many more. With his immense knowledge of the Sierra and the club, Francis was an excellent editor of the Sierra Club Bulletin for twenty years.

Crowe Sierra Club Physician, Baron, and President Glen Dawson Pioneer Rock Climber and Ski Mountaineer Interviews Conducted By Judy Snyder Jo Harding Richard Sear1 e Sierra Club His tory Commi ttee SERIES PREFACE -- SIERRA CLUB REMINISCENCES Sierra Club Reminiscences is a series of Sierra Club oral history interviews with club leaders and longtime members whose activities in the club span the past eighty years. It includes the interviews with seven men who served the club as president during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. It preserves the recollections of mountaineers and rock climbers in the Sierra Nevada and beyond, and it records the tales of early mountain outings as far back as 1909. All of these interviews make apparent the roots of the Sierra Club in first-hand, often pioneering, experiences in the mountains of California. In addition, they demonstrate how an abiding love for these mountains led many of these individuals to engage in national campaigns to preserve park and wilderness areas. Thus, they validate the Sierra Club motto, "to explore, enjoy, and preserve." At the same time, this series sets the stage for interviews of the following generations of Club leaders who rose to prominence in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

Monitoring the various areas within the river corridor means that the only way we know if something is too much is for the resource to become damaged. Why does it need to get to that point? Isn't the point to prevent the damage in the first place? Monitoring means we allow the site to carry as many people as possible before the system breaks. Is that really the purpose of the National Park System? Shouldn't we rather set limits to the site before we damage it? I'm also concerned that there aren't enough resources to seriously monitor areas within the various zones. Who monitors these? How often? When budget cuts occur, how will this system sustain itself? With park personnel stretched beyond the capacity to maintain essentials, how do we expect them to also monitor these sites adequately? The only answer seems to be the need for an offensive, self-sustaining VERP ? and I think that unfortunately means actual head counts in certain areas. It seems like if we set limits in advance on the numbers of people the corridor can handle, it will provide better protection of the river without waiting until damage occurs to set limits.

The Club designated The Bancroft Library as its official archives in 1958, and the organization began transferring records from the San Francisco office to the Library on a regular basis in 1970. A very wide range of record types are included in the collection, including correspondence, minutes, agendas, reports, by-laws, financial records, scrapbooks, sample ballots, notes, rosters, action alerts, statements and testimony, press releases, clippings, and policy statements. Documentation for the early years is scarce, since the Club's office in San Francisco was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.
