F 001
DAISY AND G. F. SNYDER PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT
[ca. 189- - 1977]

40 linear shelf feet (approximately 800 items; in 26 record storage boxes, 6 document cases, 2 large metal boxes, and 5 unboxed oversize items)

This collection contains historically significant photographic equipment that Homer Hastings gathered over many years. It represents a broad span of photographic history, and includes cameras, accessories, manuals, viewing equipment, and instructions brochures and other literature regarding the collection. The cameras range in date from before the turn of the century to the 1970s, representing some of the earliest equipment and the beginnings of some modern models. Items range in size from small items to a developer that is several feet long.

As Homer Hastings noted in his offer of the collection to the College in 1977, "a few of the items are quite rare and all were selected to fit a pattern...."  Mr. Hastings purchased some of the items; others were given to him.  He numbered and cataloged the equipment himself (see copies of his catalog cards in the appendix).  He donated most of the artifacts in May and November of 1977, and made additional donations that November and December, in August of 1978, September and November of 1979, August and November of 1981, January of 1982, May and June of 1983, April of 1984, and October of 1994.  For many years (until about 1990), many of the items were on display in the conference room at the Center of Southwest Studies.  In the fall of 1994 Fort Lewis College student museum/archives intern Dan Hart re-boxed the collection archivally, using protective inert materials to extend its life and placing similar items together according to the arrangement scheme devised by the donor with the advice of the Southwest Studies Center's former director Robert W. Delaney.  An exemplary compilation of equipment, the Snyder Photographic Equipment Collection exhibits a cross-section of the development of cameras and processes through the years.


Biographical note

In 1928, George F. and Daisy Snyder (pictured at right in a card prepared shortly after his death in 1934; he fell on campus and died from complications of hitting his head) opened their home to Homer Hastings so he was able to enroll as a student at Fort Lewis College.  George Snyder was the principal and (when it became a junior college) dean of Fort Lewis while it was in transition from high school to college, serving as the chief administrator from 1911 until his death in 1934.  Homer Hastings, grateful for living with the Snyders while he attended Fort Lewis, donated his photographic equipment in memory of the Snyders.  In a letter to Fort Lewis College President Rexer Berndt on 8 July 1977, Mr. Hastings wrote "My wife and I are offering for a donation to Fort Lewis College a collection of obsolete to antique photographic equipment in the fond memory of George F. and Daisy Snyder who in 1928 took me into their home like one of their own sons and made it possible for me to enroll at Fort Lewis College.  While there I met Mary Olive Casey who later became my wife."  Homer Hastings (who was age 85 as of the date of the creation of this inventory in 1998) has two daughters--Mary J. Harris in Durango and Mrs. Lloyd (Anita) Lewis in Aztec--and eight grandchildren.
