Name of creator(s): Peter Dunlap-Shohl Administrative/Biographical History: Peter Dunlap-Shohl drew political cartoons for the Anchorage Daily News for over 25 years. In 2008, he won the Howard Rock Tom Snapp First Amendment Award from the Alaska Press Club. Scope and Content Description: The collection contains the original artwork for Peter Dunlap-Shohl’s editorial cartoons, published in the Anchorage Daily News (ADN) circa 1982-2008, as well as unfinished and unpublished cartoons. The original strips from the first year of Dunlap-Shohl’s comic, Muskeg Heights, are also included; the strip ran in the ADN from April 23, 1990 to October 16, 2004. The majority of works are pen-and-ink drawings, with a smaller number of pencil sketches, watercolors, scratchboard engravings, and computer-generated art. Cartoons created after about 2004 were born digital; the collection includes digital files of cartoons dated from February 1, 2005-October 5, 2008. Some born-digital cartoons are only available in paper copies. The collection also includes some examples of original graphic art created by Dunlap- Shohl for specific projects; these are generally undated and oversized. There is one photograph in the collection, of Peter Dunlap-Shohl at the Anchorage Daily News offices. See Detailed Description of Collection for more information. Arrangement: The arrangement is primarily chronological, with some groupings by size and subject matter (for example, graphic art).
