Approximately 222.31 linear ft. (195 boxes with around 40,000 envelopes) of photograph negatives, photographic prints, and
correspondence created by Daniel Flores Rios, Chief Photographer, Escondido Times-Advocate and North County Times from 1968-2001.
The papers provide a visual documentation of the San Diego North County geographic region, community, and events that helped
shape its history. The negatives are in varying sizes, in both color and black and white. Acetate film was used from 1925
to the present, and polyester film from 1960 to the present and both may be included.
The Escondido Times-Advocate was created with a merger of the Escondido Times (started 1886) and the Escondido Advocate (1891),
and was published from 1909-1995. The Escondido Times-Advocate then merged with the North County Blade-Citizen of Oceanside
on December 3, 1995, and was subsequently known as the North County Times. In 2012, the North County Times was bought by The
San Diego Union Tribune.
