Abstract: | The manuscript collection consists of 13 boxes (7.5 linear feet) of manuscript material arranged in eight series. These consists of the diaries of William Wallace and Ada Bass (1894-1929), Business Correspondence (1901-1971), Financial Records (1883-1946), Mining Documents (1896-19246 and 1954-1956), Personal Correspondence and Family History (1849-1963), Manuscripts (1881-1919), Scrapbooks, (1891-1903), and Printed Material (1864-1976). The oral history collection consists of two series. The first includes nine cassette tapes of interviews with W.G. Bass, W.W. Bass' son with accompanying transcripts. The second includes tapes of interviews with Ed Kahle (driver of automobile for W.W. Bass), Harry Phillips (hauled ore for W.W. Bass) and Jack Fuss (worked for W.W. Bass for a year). The photograph collection consists of 24 boxes (13.5 linear feet) of prints, lantern slides, and glass plate negatives. There are nineteen boxes of photographic prints, dealing primarily with W.W. Bass and the Bass family. The majority of the photographs were taken in the Grand canyon where the Bass' camps, mines, and homes were located, and include images of and around the White House, Tin House, Bass Camp, Bass Cave, Shinumo Camp, and Rock Camp. Some photographs portray Ada's family and home in New York. There are numerous images of Havasupai Indians, including individuals (Chicakpanage and many unidentified), school children, homes, dancers and a sweat lodge. In several of these, Bass family members, particularly W.W. Bass, are present. There are also a few photographs of Navajo and Hopi Indians, including a trip to Hotevilla and a Hopi Snake Dance. | ||
