Administrative Information
Acquisition Information
The James Earl Wood Collection of Photographs Relating to Filipinos in California was received with Wood's collection of research
materials on Filipinos in California, BANC MSS C-R 4. That collection was probably received by the library in 1945 through
Paul S. Taylor.
Scope and Content
This collection of 57 photographs and 5 post cards was taken or acquired by James Earl Wood ca. 1929-1934 as part of his research
for his master's thesis. The library does not hold a copy of the thesis. The collection includes photographs of buildings
in Susanville, California; Filipino laborers; Filipinos and buildings, probably in Sacramento, California; workers' camps,
and some unidentified portraits and group photos. Also included are postcards of lumber operations of the Red River Lumber
Company in Susanville and Westwood, California, and one postcard of a group baptism, dated May 1924, and taken at Zamboangita,
The Philippines.
The photographs are undated, and, except for the first group, uncaptioned. The present groupings have been established based
on the developer's number on the verso of the prints. Groups of photographs that were developed at the same time have been
kept together with the assumption that they were taken at the same time. This system does not apply to all of the photographs
in the collection, since many do not bear numbers, especially those after number 44.
