Summary:
A collection primarily of 19th and early 20th century lantern slides relating mostly to engineering, agriculture, railroads, mining, and extractive industries collected by the Division of Work and Industry, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution.
Scope and Contents:
A collection of 19th and early 20th century silver gelatin dry plate lantern slides acquired by the staff of the Division of Work and Industry, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution. These materials were collected for research purposes and relate to various engineering and mining subjects. The photographs document engineering activities, equipment, facilities, and projects. Activities include engineering inspection; moving an obelisk; rock drilling and riveting; tunneling; V drive ratio testing; and weighing. Photographs are also of objects including blueprints, boilers, bridges, canals, drawings, Egyptian temples, flywheel governors, and valves.

Images of corporate facilities documented include American Locomotive Company; Cooper-Bessemer Corporation; Fairbanks Morse and Company; Hamiliton; Ingersoll-Rand, Incorporated; and Nordberg Manufacturing Company. In addition, there are images of equipment such as diesels, marine diesel generator set, diesel models, and marine diesel engines. Images were created by photographers and photographic studios including L. C. Handy Photo, Washington, DC; W. H. Lawrence and B. S. Turpin; Underwood & Underwood; and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Civil Engineering Department. Locations include various parts of the United States, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, Brazil, and Africa.

Condition of the material varies widely with some fragile or broken slides. Poor quality images also exist probably due to unstable storage environments or the processing of the slides. All slides have been digitized and moved to off-site storage to minimize handling and at the same time increase accessibility.

Summary:
The Frank Lobdell interview dates from 2002 and measures 0.01 linear feet. The collection is comprised of a 27-page transcript of an interview with Lobdell conducted by Timothy Anglin Burgard at Lobdell's Pier 70 Studio, in San Francisco.
Scope and Contents:
The Frank Lobdell interview dates from 2002 and measures 0.01 linear feet. The collection is comprised of a 27-page transcript of an interview with Lobdell conducted by Timothy Anglin Burgard at Lobdell's Pier 70 Studio, in San Francisco. Burgard's interview was used in preparation for the exhibition Frank Lobdell: The Art of Making and Meaning, held at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor Museum in May 2003. A book of the same title was published by the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, Hudson Hills Press, in 2003.

In the interview Lobdell talks about his early interest in art, his artistic influences, his education, his experiences during World War II after being drafted into the army in 1942, and his career after the war, and shares his opinions on art and politics.
Arrangement:
Due to the small size of this collection, the interview is arranged as one series.
Biographical / Historical:
California painter and educator Frank Lobdell (1921-1913) was a key figure among first-generation Bay Area Abstract Expressionist artists. Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco curator and Lobdell scholar Timothy Anglin Burgard, interviewed Lobdell in 2002.

Lobdell was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and raised in Minnesota where he attended the St. Paul School of Fine Arts. He served in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II from 1942–46 and subsequently attended the California School of Fine Arts on the G.I. Bill where he studied with Clyfford Still. He continued his education in Paris from 1950-1951 before returning to California where he taught at the California School of Fine Arts (1957-1964) and Stanford University from 1966-1991.

Lobdell exhibited his work widely in the United States and Europe from the 1950s on. He received many awards and honors including the Medal for Distinguished Achievement in Painting from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters (1988) and election to the National Academy of Design in 1998.

Lobdell died in Palo Alto in 2013 at the age of 92.
