Abstract: The bulk of this collection comprises photographic negatives, but also includes black and white photographic prints (some
indexed by subject on note cards), as well as clippings concerning Quick and his work. An educator, staff photographer (1964),
and manager of photographic services (1976) at the University of California, Riverside until 1996, Herbert Quick (1925-2006)
was also an art photographer well-known for his insightful documentation of everyday life. Trained at the Los Angeles School
