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.
