Photographic prints

 Series
Identifier: SC003-02

Scope and Contents

This series consists of photographic prints that Dan Rios had made of some of his favorite work over the years. Many prints are large format. Rios was consulted on the content of the prints and provided information where he could, as did Alexa Clausen (Parks Historian, retired), and Tanis Brown (President, San Marcos Historical Society). Community members also provided information about some of these images through a digitization effort. Digitized images from this series can be found here (some images at this link are graphic, including images of death by suicide and accident); here; here; and here.
