Film negatives are housed in cold storage. Biographical Note The Banning Family played a pivotal role in the development of Southern California. Phineas Banning (1830-1885) immigrated to California from Philadelphia in 1852, and soon became a partner in a freight and stage-line business that ran between San Pedro and Los Angeles. He founded the settlement of Wilmington near San Pedro, which served as the hub of the Banning Company. Banning's many business interests included shipping, warehousing, real estate, and transportation services to Los Angeles and inland areas. The Banning Company continued under the direction of Phineas's sons, William, Joseph Brent (J.B.), and Hancock, until the company dissolved in 1920.

Banning Family Collection of photCL 451 2 Photographs, Part II: Finding Aid The Banning Company purchased the majority interest in Santa Catalina Island in 1892 with the intention of developing the site as a resort. In partnership with Dr. Charles Frederick Holder, the family turned Catalina into a renowned fishing destination. The Bannings controlled Catalina Island until 1919 when they sold their controlling interest for $3.5 million dollars to chewing gum magnate William Wrigley. Scope and Contents The Banning Family Collection of Photographs, Part II, contains 1204 photographs and 23 photograph albums collected by the Banning family of Southern California from 1814 to 1979 (bulk 1880-1920). The most substantial categories of photographs in the collection are: views of Santa Catalina Island; Banning family properties and residences in southern California; and portraits of family members and relatives. Of special significance are the Catalina photographs documenting the development of the island from a natural enclave with few inhabitants to a thriving tourist resort. The collection also includes views of the Banning family properties in Wilmington, their Conejo Ranch in Ventura County, and a camp at Pomona. Other categories include the Ayer Family; the Horn/Russell Family; Banning Family Employees; Miscellaneous and Unidentified Portraits; Banning Family Trips; George S. Patton Family; Oversized Photographs; Ephemera; and Family Albums. This final category focuses primarily on Banning properties, family portraits, and especially Catalina, including one album documenting the devastating Catalina fire of 1915 (Volume 7). Of particular interest are the images of the George S. Patton family who were close friends of the Bannings. There are a significant number of photographers represented in the collection, chief among them Joseph Brent Banning or "J.B.B.," as he signed his images. J.B. Banning's amateur views are noteworthy as the earliest and largest body of visual documentation of Catalina and other Banning holdings. Many of southern California's most notable commercial portrait and landscape photographers are represented in the collection including: Bertrand and Co.; Bradley and Rulofson; C.T. Colliers; B.F. Conaway; Dewey Bros.; Hervé Friend; William M. Godfrey; Jarvis Studios; A.L. Mojonier; Payne, Stanton, and Co.; Putnam Studios; Reyes; F.G. Schumacher; Stanton and Burdick; Steckel Studios; Steckel and Lamson; and I.W. Taber. Arrangement The collection is arranged in the following categories: Santa Catalina Island; Wilmington; Conejo Ranch, Ventura County; Camp at Pomona; Banning Family Members and Residences; Ayer Family; Horn/Russell Family; Banning Employees; Miscellaneous and Unidentifed Portraits; Banning Family Trips; George S. Patton Family; Oversized Photographs; Ephemera; and Family Albums. Box 26 houses glass plate negatives.
