Biographical Note

Ernest Marquez (b. 1924) is a descendant of Mexican land grantees who owned the 6,656-acre Rancho Boca de Santa Monica, comprising what is now Santa Monica Canyon and parts of Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades, California.
He grew up in Santa Monica Canyon and attended Canyon School and Santa Monica High School, then served in the Navy during World War II. For most of his professional career, he worked as a commercial artist for aerospace companies, retiring in the 1980s. He began collecting historical photographs in an effort to learn more about the history of his family and Santa Monica. His curiosity and interests soon reached beyond his own family's history, and he became a keen and well-known collector of images of Santa Monica, as well as early Los Angeles and Southern California. Over a period of 50 years, Marquez scoured flea markets, postcard shows and book fairs, and made discerning trades and purchases, amassing more than 10,000 photographs depicting the history of Southern California from 1860 through the 1980s.
Marquez also devoted time to researching and writing several books about the region's history, including: Santa Monica Beach: A Collector's Pictorial History (Angel City Press, 2004); Port of Los Angeles: An Illustrated History from 1850 to 1945, with Veronique De Turenne, (Angel City Press, 2007); and Noir Afloat: Tony Cornero and the Notorious Gambling Ships of Southern California (Angel City Press, 2011).
In 2015, Marquez completed a personal project to create 34 decorative crosses for the graves in the small, historic Marquez Family Cemetery on San Lorenzo Street in Santa Monica Canyon. Marquez and his family care for and maintain the cemetery, which was established in the late 1840s.

Scope and Content

This is a collection primarily of negatives and photographic prints depicting the growth of Santa Monica and Los Angeles from 1860s to 1980s. Many views are cityscapes or street views, showing buildings, storefronts, homes and roads, and documenting the use of railroads, trolleys, streetcars, and automobiles. There are many card photographs by early professional photographers, and also a number of snapshots made by amateurs, some in personal photo albums. The collection's scope also includes early views of many other communities in Southern California (and a few in other states); the beginnings of aviation in Santa Monica, including the first Douglas Aircraft Company buildings; a photo album of residents in Topanga Canyon, ca. 1913; automobile racing in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, 1920s; maritime views; a photo album of U.S. troops in France during World War I; a 1949 real estate development in Apple Valley, California, and others. Besides photographs, a portion of the collection consists of scarce publications and historical ephemera, primarily related to Santa Monica and Los Angeles, including brochures, advertising cards, menus, event programs and other materials.
Highlights of the Santa Monica images are aerial views of the buildings along the coast and pier (1920s); several views of the Arcadia Hotel (1880s); the Long Wharf and adjoining railroad and train depot; the first bath houses on the beach; the beach club culture of the 1920s and 1930s; the amusement piers of Santa Monica, Ocean Park and Venice; and the beginnings of the Douglas Aircraft Company. There is a large set of promotional photographs made late 1920s-1930s by Powell Press Service depicting people enjoying Santa Monica's beaches, clubs and outdoor recreation.
An important subset within the collection is 407 negatives made ca. 1890 - 1908 by Los Angeles historian and amateur photographer George W. Hazard (1842-1914). Hazard travelled around Los Angeles and vicinity photographing the adobes, houses, streets and storefronts that told the early history of the city. Many of Hazard's negatives have handwritten identifications, naming streets, former homeowners, ranchos, and other historical details.
There are a large number of cabinet cards and other card-mounted prints and stereographs. There are 1,264 stereograph prints, highlighted by the works of photographic pioneers William M. Godfrey, Francis Parker, Hayward & Muzzall, and Carleton Watkins. Other formats represented are: glass and film negatives; panoramic prints; 7 photograph albums, photographic postcards, 20th-century color prints and transparencies; and a small number of tintypes, cyanotypes and a set of chromolithographs.

She lived there alone in a canvas tent with a wooden floor. Later Miss Sletton came to Santa Monica Canyon and was principal of Canyon School built in 1892. I lived there next door to the Canyon School and as a young boy would wander over to the school and sit on the steps to watch the children play. Miss Sletton would drag me home and tell my mother to keep me there because I was not old enough to go to school. When Theresa died, her brother gave me the album."

George W. Hazard negatives of Los Angeles and vicinity. Approximately 1890-1908

Physical Description: 407 negatives

Biographical Note

George W. Hazard (1842-1914) was a historian and amateur photographer who spent most of his life compiling a history of Los Angeles, his home for sixty years. Born in Evanston, Illinois, he came to the city with his family in 1853. His brother, Henry T. Hazard, became an early mayor of Los Angeles. George Hazard was the personal friend of many of the pioneers of the city, who provided stories and other materials for his historical research. He became known as an authority on local historical matters and was a charter member of the Pioneer Society and other historical organizations. He hoped to write a history of the city, illustrated with many of the photographs he had made and collected, but he died before it was published. The editor Verne Dyson, whom he worked with, took over his photograph collection and manuscripts at his death in 1914.

Scope and Content Note

Hazard traveled throughout Los Angeles and neighboring cities photographing older buildings and locations of local significance that were not often, if ever, photographed by others. He wrote descriptive titles in ink directly on some of his negatives, often naming current or former homeowners. There are views of adobes, small businesses, city buildings, and open rancho land, with a few views of people. A portion of these negatives are unidentified and are grouped together at the end of this list.
See also Box 97: Later prints of photographs by George W. Hazard.

Powell Press Service negatives of Santa Monica and vicinity. Approximately late 1920s-1930s

Scope and Content Note

The Powell Press Service was a Los Angeles organization that produced photographs and news releases for publicity purposes and press syndicates. Eyre Powell, press agent, was director of the service, which he began in 1926. Besides covering events, Powell conceived whimsical publicity stunts for Santa Monica and other beach cities, often staged with models and props. Some of the images in this group are staged scenes intended to market beach culture, and others are straightforward views of schools, students, parades and community life.
A large selection (but not all) of these negatives have been digitized and can be viewed in the Huntington Digital Library.

Bob Plunkett film negatives. Approximately 1928-1953

Scope and Content Note

Bob Plunkett was a Los Angeles photographer and artist who published souvenir photographic postcards under his own name as well as the business names "Angeleno Photo Service " and "Angeleno Post Card Co." The credit "Brookwell Photo" sometimes appears on images that Plunkett published, but little information about this person is known. (In a conversation with Ernest Marquez in 2015, Marquez said that Brookwell worked for Plunkett.) Later in his life, Plunkett worked as an illustrator for Disney and published postcards of his Disney artwork that were sold at Disneyland from 1957 to 1966.
Many of these negatives have hand-lettered identifications painted on the front of the image, for re-producing on postcards. There are some original envelopes from Plunkett's business and a few pieces of correspondence (see Box 95). There are also some examples of his finished photographic postcards throughout the Series 01 (prints) files.
The Bob Plunkett negatives have all been digitized and can be viewed in the Huntington Digital Library.
