Written and visual compilations
Scope and Contents
The compilations in this sub-series are historical in nature and contain either just visual, often photographic, or both written and visual material. They are sometimes in notebooks, and sometimes were found as loose papers. There were many staff who put together compilations and/or scrapbooks, and some of the compilations, especially the later ones, were created for anniversary or other events and presentations, such as the presentation at the Huntington on 2/2/2007. Selma Calmes put together the bulk of compilations, and made efforts to gather narratives from ex-patients to gain a patient perspective. The notes and labelling of photographs and written narratives in these volumes give a strong sense of what life was like at Olive View.
