Copies of photographs collected by Mary Ogden Dranga that relate to Hopi Indians. They include images of Hopi pueblos, a Snake Dance, and a Green Corn Dance, made by A. A. Forbes; an expedition party at Moqui Pueblo, including Frederick Webb Hodge and George Wharton James in 1895; and Thomas v. Keam's house. The album in which the original prints are mounted was probably originally compiled in 1895 by Mary Ogden Dranga for Myrtle Zuck, wife of anthropologist Walter Hough; a notation on the cover states: "Myrtle Zuck. December Twenty-second, Eighteen hundred and ninety-five. From Mary Ogden Dranga."
Biographical/Historical note:
Mary Ogden Dranga was a social worker who was married from 1912-1918 to Charles F. F. Campbell, founder of the Massachusetts Association of the Blind and the journal "Outlook for the Blind."
