Immediate Source of Acquisition

Gift of Hartmut Gerdes, 2023.

Biographical / Historical

The following historical context of this group of slides is provided by Hartmut Gerdes:

"Ingeborg and I were German newly-weds when we arrived in Philadelphia in the fall of 1965. We had both finished our academic studies in Germany. I was the happy recipient of a German government scholarship to study urban design at the University of Pennsylvania. When Ingeborg applied for a visa and work permit at the U.S. consulate in Hamburg, she was offered a green card. In Philadelphia, she found a part-time job at the Education Department Library, located a stone-throw from my School of Fine Arts.

My graduate school's urban design studios and city planning classes kept me busy till late into most weekday nights, with required reading on weekends. For Ingeborg it meant a large amount of alone-time, which she — her Pentax flung over her shoulder — increasingly filled with venturing out into the city. She was curious and adventurous, and enjoyed her outings. Her economic studies and family background — both parents were lawyers; her dad was a state court justice and hobby-economist — did not prepare her for a career in the arts she would embark on.

I do not know how Ingeborg discovered her creative talent, or what may have inspired her. Her early photos — all color slides — may offer some clues, though. They reveal her interest in documenting the urban scene and people in their social environment. Naturally, both of us being in our late 20's, loved discovering what appeared unfamiliar and different from the world we hailed from. We relished the occasional visit to New York and its vibrant arts scene, and summer trips to the New Jersey shore. Ingeborg was enthralled by the vast American landscape we would soon come to explore.

After my graduation in May of 1967, we bought an old Peugeot, a large tent, propane stove, pots, and pans and set out on a six-week cross-country trip to every German youngster's dream city — San Francisco. Our trip took us through New England to Canada and its Montreal Expo '67. We visited Toronto and Ottawa, Chicago, and Detroit, crossed the midwest and Colorado, the Four Corners Monument, the Painted Desert, cave dwellings and Hopi Indian ruins. A few days in Las Vegas and its gaudy culture signaled Los Angeles and a free-spirited California. In the Bay Area, friends from school offered a bed and the advice to start exploring San Francisco by visiting its North Beach neighborhood. The small United Nations we found made us feel close to European culture. We rented a small cottage on Russian Hill, with a view of the East Bay. Living only a few blocks from the legendary San Francisco Art Institute, Ingeborg enrolled in its Master program of photography, and quickly made many talented friends. After her graduation, she fell in love with and frequently traveled to Baja, Oregon, and Nevada. Much like in Philadelphia, she became a keen observer and photographer of the land and its people. Enchanted by the Summer of Love, we decided to stay for one year; alas, life had different plans for us. After our separation, Ingeborg and I remained good friends. I hired her to photograph the ca. 250 pictures of my 1975 guidebook — San Francisco and Surroundings — for German visitors. (An American and French edition followed.) Ingeborg's love for The City leaped from every page."

Processing Information

In 2023, Hartmut Gerdes donated approximately 300 color slides created by Ingeborg Gerdes to UC Santa Cruz Special Collections & Archives. Hartmut Gerdes sorted the slides into categories based on locations and dates. Owen Gump reviewed, cleaned, and inventoried them, and created the group "Ingeborg and Hartmut Gerdes," which contains portraits they took of one another.

France 1964

Physical Description: 5x 35mm color slides in cardboard mounts, 9x 35mm color slides in glass mounts

Biographical / Historical

The following historical context of this group of slides is provided by Hartmut Gerdes:

"My 1964 final urban design thesis for the Dipl.-lng. degree was well-received at school and purchased by the city of Karlsruhe, with all rights, for $3,000.00. Ingeborg and I bought an old Beetle and a tent and toured Southern France for four to six weeks. We visited cities and towns and the coast and saw a bullfight by a Spanish group, which appalled us. My idea was to explore if we could make a life in France and if I could start a professional career there. Both of us were Francophiles at the time. (Ingeborg was unsure what to do next; economics was no longer interesting to her.) It turned out that the wounds of the war were still too raw. Soon after, I applied for a scholarship to Penn. I do not recall Ingeborg photographing at the time, but she seemingly had already caught the bug. And I am sure all of the slides are hers."

Digital Files 2004-2020 bulk 2012-2019

Physical Description: 226 GB 6194 digital files

Conditions Governing Access

Digital files are available in the UCSC Special Collections and Archives reading room. Some files may require reformatting before they can be accessed. Technical limitations may hinder the Library's ability to provide access to some digital files. Access to digital files on original carriers is prohibited; users must request to view access copies. Contact Special Collections and Archives in advance to request access to digital files.

Scope and Contents

This series contains born-digital photographs, scanned film images, and digital files on Gerdes's professional work, primarily beginning in 2007 when Gerdes began creating photographs with a digital camera. Formats include TIFF, JPEG, PDF, and Apple Pages files.

Arrangement

This series is arranged in 4 sub-series:

Sub-series 1: Digital Capture Photographs
Sub-series 2: Professional Files
Sub-series 3: Scanned Film
Sub-series 4: Snapshots of Ingeborg and Friends

Files in each sub-series are in their original arrangement.

Processing Information

The digital materials in this collection were processed by Alix Norton in 2022-2023. Digital files were transferred from one external hard drive in June 2022 via logical copy. Digital photograph files in RAW format, Adobe Lightroom files, and materials marked as restricted by the Gerdes Trust on the hard drive were not transferred. Scanned film photographs were not transferred if they were identified by the Trust as being well represented in the Exhibition Prints series. Tools used in the analysis of files included DROID and TreeSize Pro to identify duplicate files and calculate file sizes, and Print Window to create a file directory PDF. Original order of the digital material, including file names and folder arrangement, has been retained without intervention by archives staff, with the following exceptions: the four sub-series folders (Digital Capture Photographs, Professional Files, Scanned Film, Snapshots of Ingeborg and Friends) were renamed for clarification, and some file names were edited to remove non-ASCII characters.

Other Finding Aids

Series 8: Digital Files

Digital Capture Photographs

Physical Description: 131.8 GB 5231 digital files

Scope and Contents

This sub-series contains photographs originally captured via digital camera in their final processed version. Work series represented in this sub-series are Berlin 2012-2017, Compost, East Bay, Germany Baltic, Golden Gate Fields, Mission, Out West in Color, and SF Chinatown. Gerdes utilized Adobe Lightroom to correct and edit RAW photograph files, then exported them in TIFF or JPEG format. Most files in this sub-series are in TIFF format, with some JPEG files included. Photographs in RAW format are not included.

Professional Files

Physical Description: 2 GB 311 digital files

Scope and Contents

This sub-series contains digital, non-photographic files created by Gerdes in her professional work, including biographies and curricula vitae, artist's statements, and presentation slides for a May 2019 lecture at the San Francisco Art Institute for the San Francisco PhotoAlliance, which was her last major public presentation and provided an overview of her life's work and career.

Scanned Film

Physical Description: 90.5 GB 623 digital files

Scope and Contents

This sub-series contains photographs scanned from film negatives from work series (Mission, Out West, Out West in Color, SF in the 1970s and 1980s, DuMont) where few gelatin silver prints exist, and where a large amount of new material was scanned that was not previously printed. Gerdes presumably used negative scanning as an opportunity to re-evaluate her earlier work and select images which she had not previously printed, such as the series SF in the 1970s, from which only a small number of darkroom prints exist. The sub-series only includes final (i.e. corrected, proofed, edited) images ready to print; raw, unedited scans are not included. Some files have named titles, and others have a number prefix which corresponds to Gerdes's film coding system of year/film roll. Most files in this sub-series are in TIFF format, with some JPEG files included.

Snapshots of Ingeborg and Friends

Physical Description: 1.7 GB 29 digital files

Scope and Contents

This sub-series contains "snapshot" photographs of Gerdes, her friends, and colleagues. Included are some scans from film negatives and prints, but most images in this sub-series were captured with a digital camera. Some of the images scanned from prints include portraits of Gerdes working in the desert in the 1980s captured by her late husband Jyo Koshida.
