The
Gilbert Gaines Photograph Collection includes images of the San Diego area and southern California from the 1940s-2002, documenting Gaines's personal life and
travels. Several images document Gaines's camping trips in the Cuyamaca Mountains and San Diego County Backcountry in the
1940s, and trips to Yosemite Valley in the 1950s. Gaines's trip to Thule Air Base in Greenland and the surrounding glaciers
is well documented by a large series of 35mm slides. Also included are images from Gaines's travels to the east coast, most
notably Fort Eustis, Virginia, but also Washington D.C. and New York.
The collection includes two photo albums of mostly 3x5 inch prints or smaller (box 1); and approximately 1,430 35mm color
slides (box 2).
