Introduction/ scope and contents
Collection P 056
Nina Heald Webber Southwest
Colorado photographs
Nina Heald Webber, compiler and donor
Approximate years: 1883-1969
Volume: approximately 200 images, in 1 document case, 1 oversize flat lidded
box, and 2 small boxes
This collection consists of images, many of them rare, of southwest Colorado. Subjects include Durango and Mesa Verde National Park, and scenes in Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, and other small Rocky Mountain towns of the Western Slope of Colorado. The glass lantern slides are mostly views of archaeological ruins and persons in Mesa Verde National Park in the 1930s. The bulk of the stereographs are views of Ouray and its surrounding regions between 1890 and 1907.
This collection is useful for anyone researching the history of various Southwestern topics and may be especially helpful for writers, instructors, and students who are seeking visual materials for classroom instruction.
Administrative information
About the organization of this collection: This collection is in several groups by
type of photograph: photoprints (various sizes; oversize are housed together),
approximately 30 glass lantern slides (3.25 x 4"),
and approximately 40 stereographs (3.5 x 7"). Within each type, the
photographs
are grouped topically into the following four geographic subject or other topic, and
somewhat chronologically within that topic (insofar as it was possible to
determine the date of the image). The categories are:
1. Durango (Colo.) and
vicinity.
2. Mesa Verde National Park and related archaeological
sites.
3. Other Southwest Colorado scenes including Animas Canyon, Cortez, Mancos, the Million Dollar Highway, Ophir, Ouray,
Rico, Silverton, and Telluride.
4. Regional
railroads of southwest Colorado, including the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad.
Acquisition of this collection: This collection was a gift from Nina Heald Webber to the Center of Southwest Studies (accessions 2002:01002, 2002:12006, 2003:05013, 2004:12011.2, 2005:03011, 2005:05004, 2005:09018, 2005:11009, 2005:12002, etc.). The initial bulk of the collection was appraised on November 1, 2004 by Dr. David Farmer.
Processing information: Todd Ellison, Certified Archivist, Center of Southwest Studies, produced item level descriptions, archivally re-housed the photographs, and produced this guide to the collection in December of 2005 (last revised August 2007).

Pueblo people at Mesa Verde in 1950, photographed by Paul Coze (d.
1974). Each photoprint is glued (many years ago) onto a cardstock
card. Each photoprint measures 4 7/16" by 4 9/16", and is dated 1950.
A (Department of the Interior?) classification number (069.423) is printed
on the front of each card, along with a negative number (if there was a
matching negative). The back of each card contains this additional
metadata: subject, location, purpose, photographer and companions ("Coze and
models'), the date ("1950"), and remarks ("All rights reserved - by Coze").
These were posed photos, using models. Coze also produced color
paintings that in turn were the source of the series of color postcards
(including 24 that are of Mesa Verde). Cf. the postcard also received
with these photoprints: No. 6 of a set of 24 painting postcards of Mesa
Verde (this one being of Cliff Palace) by Coze; that postcards is part of
the Nina Heald Webber Southwest Colorado postcard collection (Vol. 3, No.
306).
