Background
Luella J. Hall (1890-) was a professor of Geography and History at
Hartnell Junior College in Salinas, California (c1937-1960). Although she
received a Ph.D. from Stanford University for a dissertation on U.S. Moroccan
relations, Hall's principal teaching assignments at Hartnell seem to have been:
Latin America, International Relations, and Amerindians. Over some twenty
years, with the help of her students, she amassed the large clippings files
pertaining to these topics which constitute the bulk of the Luella J. Hall
collection.
