The materials in this collection were previously a part an unprocessed portion of the Sadakichi Hartmann papers (MS 068).
Upon surveying the unprocessed Hartmann papers and creating a processing plan in late 2018 and early 2019, several collections
were identified under the umbrella of MS 068. After thorough deliberation, SCUA staff concluded that the disperate collections
would be separated and processed. This led to the creation of the Wistaria Hartmann Linton papers as a distinct collection.
Wistaria Hartmann Linton was born on June 9, 1911 in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents were artists Sadakichi Hartmann and Lillian
Bonham Hartmann. She grew up in southern California in the Beaumont area. In 1933 she married Walter Linton, of Cahuilla-Cupeño
descent and lived on the Morongo Reservation with their three children. She moved to Riverside, California in 1957 where she
became a photographic technician and photographer in the photography lab of the University of California, Riverside from 1957-1976.
After retiring, she lived in Utah and Arizona. She passed away on February 7th, 2007.
The Wistaria Hartmann Linton papers are comprised of correspondence, photographs, family documents, drawings, and her journal
from when she worked at the University of California, Riverside photography lab. Her photographs provide a glimpse into campus
life in the 1960s-70s.
