content: This series is divided into 8 subseries. Subseries 9.1: People and Events contains photographs of colleagues, fellow Smithsonian staff, and friends of T. Dale Stewart and were mostly taken between the 1950s and 1970s. Subseries 9.2: Travel and Expeditions contains photographs created by Stewart during some of his trips to Peru and other South American locations, and others that seem to have collected by Stewart for research purposes. Subseries 9.3: Skeletal Remains consists of photographs and negatives of complete skeletons and individual bones. Some photographs were taken at archaeological sites in the field, but most appear to have been taken in museums or laboratories. Subseries 9.4: Lectures and Presentations contains charts, title slides, and images of skeletal remains that Stewart created as he prepared lectures and other presentations. Subseries 9.5: Publications consist of photographs and plates that were created by Stewart for inclusion in bulletins, handbooks, articles, and other publications that Stewart was involved with. Subseries 9.6: Glass Lantern Slides consists of seven trays of approximately 500 glass lantern slides that Stewart created between about 1942 and 1959. Subseries 9.7: Townsend Site, Delaware contains 133 silver gelatin prints and one black and white slide, which depict burials and pits uncovered at the Townsend Site excavation. Subseries 9.8: Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru Trips contains 40 silver gelatin prints and 40 matching negatives, most of which depict structures at Uxmal and Chichen Itza. Most sub-series in this collection are arranged in what appears to be Stewart's original order, though there have been some changes made for clarity.
scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series is made up of photographs, prints, negatives, and a few illustrations of various sizes created and gathered by Stewart throughout his professional career. Many images were created during archaeological expeditions in North and South America or at the Museum of Natural History to aid in his research or were created for publication. There are a significant number of images from exhibit opening galas, celebrations, award presentations, and other events at the Smithsonian and elsewhere that Stewart attended from the 1950s through the 1970s. There is also a large group of photographs of skeletal remains, many of which are unidentified. Some of the images in this series were previously separated from the Thomas Dale Stewart papers as individual photo lot collections, and have since been re-integrated into this collection.
