Processing Information

The collection was processed by Vita Isyanova and Marie Silva in 2020-2021. Materials were removed from binders, placed in acid-free boxes, and arranged in alphabetical order. This assembled collection has no original order.

Scope and Contents

The bulk of this assembled collection consists of official individual and group portraits of the justices of the California Supreme Court, dated circa 1860-2020. Most photographs are twentieth-century photographic prints. All nineteenth-century prints, with the exception of the Solomon Heydenfeldt cabinet card, are reproductions of framed portraits of the justices, likely made from negatives in 2004. Official photographers include Gabriel Moulin Studios, San Francisco, and Sirlin Studios, Sacramento.
