This chest has a handwritten inventory, although there is a notable discrepancy between the actual slides in the chest and the titles listed on the inventory sheet. Twelve of the slides from the chest are featured in the listed images. They document various species of lizards, snakes, frogs, and toads, as well as desert habitats throughout California, New Mexico, and Baja California. As the majority of these slides are dated 1948, they are representative of Norris's work in desert ecology during his studies at UCLA. These velvet cases also contain atlases from UCSC Special Collections that pertain to the theme of Reading Nature. gallery 2016-06-08T09:51:24-07:00 Alex Moore 6cd84a9f7efd71803c15562e48a509db9e0bb5a6

Here you can compare the methods and material practices of observation archived in these two collections, as well as how scientists in each field interfaced with and related to nature. gallery 2016-06-10T02:26:04-07:00 Danielle Crawford 22ce6a14f83c9ff73c3545a665951a092258f08e

Norris, who was a professor of natural history at UCSC's Environmental Studies Department. The materials in this case highlight Norris's work in natural history, his creation of the popular Natural History Field Quarter, and his research in dolphin echolocation. gallery 2016-06-08T00:16:57-07:00 Danielle Crawford 22ce6a14f83c9ff73c3545a665951a092258f08e

For the majority of these journeys, the astronomers used a 40ft portable camera designed by J. M. Schaeberle. The images displayed here foreground three themes suggested by the archive: understanding the sun, onsite labour, and the importance of framing. gallery 2016-06-07T15:39:30-07:00 Alex Moore 6cd84a9f7efd71803c15562e48a509db9e0bb5a6
