This finding aid provides a brief listing of a small portion of the photographic negative archive of commercial photographer Julian P. Graham. In this preliminary listing, the contents of only about 15 out of 188 boxes of negatives have been described, and these descriptions consist only of short lists of names or subjects transcribed from often illegible notes on negative sleeves.
The archive is rich in images of sporting and social life in the Monterey Peninsula vicinity, from the 1920s until 1942. Views include golf courses and golfers, tennis, polo, country club and swimming pool scenes, visiting celebrities and local figures. Also included are various local scenes and landscapes.
