Abstract: 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 three most substantial categories of
images in this 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 a few
inhabitants to a thriving tourist resort. Volume 7 in the Photograph
Album section contains images of the devastating effects of the Catalina fire of 1915. Also of particular interest are
photographs of the George S. Patton family. Photographers
represented in the collection include Joseph Brent Banning; 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.

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.
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.
