Scope and content:

Series 7) PHOTOGRAPHS: An extensive assortment of prints and negatives, documenting Hubbs' professional conferences, expeditions and trips, portraits of both Carl and Laura Hubbs, his science colleagues, and images relating to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Hubbs travelled extensively, and his photo files include landscapes and images of towns and people from some of his trips, including the American West (from the 1920s and 1930s), Guatemala (1935), Alaska (1939), and Japan (1929 and 1960s).

Hundreds of additional photographs may be found throughout collection, particularly images of fish (for identification purposes) and mammal specimens (such as whale beachings, and fur seals). Hubbs originally filed most photographic prints and negatives of animals directly into his research files, primarily under species name, fish group number, or locality within the MARINE LIFE - FISHES, MARINE LIFE - WEST COAST, and the SUBJECT FILES series. This original order was preserved and restored throughout the 2021 processing. Therefore, specimen photographs can be found with related material such as correspondence, data and manuscripts on the same species, grouped together in the research files. All other print photographs and negatives are found here in Series 7.

Arranged in five subseries: A) Conferences and Meetings, B) Expeditions and Trips, C) Carl and Laura Hubbs, D) Portraits of others, and E) Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
