Summary

Collection contains fieldwork materials—primarily photographic documentation—created by folklorist Blanton Owen as part of contract based research for the Western Folklife Center in 1990 in Nevada, California and Oregon. The materials were gathered to support programing and exhibits in conjunction with the Cowboy Poetry Gathering held in Elko, Nevada in January 1991 where the theme was slated to be “Family on the Ranch.” Most of the planning files and related contract documentation have not been located at the time of writing, so collection consists mostly of Blanton Owen’s photographs (35mm black & white negatives and proof sheets and color slides) and accompanying log sheets. A few photos were taken by Meg Glaser of the Western Folklife Center. Some of the photographs were taken on the Gamble and Winecup Ranches in Elko County, Nevada; others were taken on several ranches in northern California and southern Oregon, including the McGarva, Cahill, Quinn River, Hussa, and MC ranches. Collection includes 12 sheets of black & white negatives, matching proof sheets, some selected prints, photo log sheets, and 16 sheets of color slides. The negatives and slides and log sheets have been scanned. It is anticipated that additional materials pertaining to the collection will be located (perhaps subsumed in files of the Founding Director or Artistic Director) and these will be incorporated at a later date.
