About
This collection consists of the correspondence of John Muir from 1856-1914. The vast majority of the letters were sent and received by Muir, although the collection also includes some correspondence of selected family members and colleagues. Muir's correspondence offers a unique first-hand perspective on his thoughts and experiences, as well as those of his correspondents, which include many notable figures in scientific, literary, and political circles of the 19th and early 20th centuries. All of the letters include full-text transcriptions that can be searched as well as viewed alongside images of the originals.

The correspondence forms part of the John Muir Papers microfilm set that filmed letters located at over 35 institutions. In this digital collection the "owning institution" of the original letters is indicated on each image and in its metadata. Muir correspondence acquired after the microfilm was created in 1986 is not currently included in this digital collection, although it may be added at a later date.

The unpublished works of John Muir are copyrighted by the Muir-Hanna Trust. To purchase copies and/or obtain permission to publish or exhibit items from Holt-Atherton's collections, visit our fees and forms page. To purchase copies of letters located at other institutions and/or obtain permission to publish or exhibit them, contact the owning institution.

Transmission or reproduction of materials protected by copyright beyond that allowed by fair use requires the written permission of the copyright owners. Responsibility for any use rests exclusively with the user.

The John Muir Correspondence digitization project was funded by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.

About
These journals were written by John Muir between 1867 and 1913. They include his 1867-1868 "thousand mile walk," his early years in Yosemite, extensive travels in Alaska, his 1903 world tour, and his 1911-1912 voyage to South America and Africa. The journals offer a unique perspective on Muir's life and experiences in his own words and drawings.

Some of the journals are filled with miscellaneous notes and jotted writings, while others feature diary-like narratives. Similarly, some journals contain only text while others, especially those from his Alaska trips, are full of drawings that reflect the places Muir visited.

The digitized John Muir journals are not transcribed. Therefore, their text cannot be searched online. Although some portions of the journals can be difficult to read because of faded writing, the zoom feature enables users to magnify pages and improve their legibility.

The "titles" assigned to each journal are taken from the published Guide and Index to the Microform Edition of the John Muir Papers, 1858 -1957. These titles convey the general content of each journal, but many of the journals contain a wealth of information beyond the subject indicated in the title. It may be helpful to consult the John Muir chronology for more information on where Muir was during the periods when he was writing various journals.

View About
All of the drawings in this digital collection are attributed to John Muir, and many bear his signature. They mostly convey the landscapes he encountered during his travels and explorations in California and Alaska, and some of the drawings were used to illustrate books and articles written by Muir.

The original drawings are all located in Special Collections at the University of the Pacific Library in either the John Muir Papers or the James Eastman Shone Collection of Muiriana. They do not account for all of the Muir drawings in existence, though; additional Muir drawings are located at other libraries and institutions. The "titles" assigned to the drawings from the John Muir Papers are taken from the Microform Edition of the John Muir Papers, 1858-1957. In many cases, these titles include captions written by Muir. The titles assigned to drawings from the James Eastman Shone Collection of Muiriana are mostly taken from captions on the drawings.

The unpublished works of John Muir are copyrighted by the Muir-Hanna Trust. To purchase copies and/or obtain permission to publish or exhibit items from these collections, visit our fees and forms page.

Dave and Iola Brubeck were interviewed for this oral history project on January 30 and 31, 2007. During the interviews, the Brubecks discussed a broad range of topics from throughout their lives. Some of the stories cover well-known episodes in their career, others are related here for the first time. The interviews were filmed at Ellington's Jazz Bar and Restaurant on Sanibel Island, Florida. The interviewers were Shan Sutton, Head of Special Collections at the University of the Pacific Library, and Keith Hatschek, Director of the Music Management Program in the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music.

The Brubeck oral history project is a collaborative effort supported by the University of the Pacific Library, Brubeck Institute, and the Experience Music Project of Seattle. The excerpts presented here were selected from over five hours of interview footage. Access to the entire interviews and their transcripts is available at the University of the Pacific Library's Special Collections department, and the Experience Music Project.

About
The City of Stockton was founded in 1849 in the Central Valley of California, eighty-three miles east of San Francisco. Stockton's location on the eastern edge of the San Joaquin Delta that feeds into San Francisco Bay has made it a major shipping port. This collection of historic photographs documents the history of Stockton with an emphasis on the waterfront and downtown areas. Most of the images are of buildings, streets, and businesses. Many aerial views of the city are also included. Images in this collection date from approximately the 1860s to the 1960s.

About
The Delia Locke Diaries are part of the Locke-Hammond Family Papers. In addition to the diaries, these papers include a broad range of materials on the family and Lockeford, California, the town they founded in the 1850s.

Delia (Hammond) Locke was the matriarch of the family. Born in 1832, she married Dr. Dean Jewett Locke and moved to California in 1855. That same year Delia began keeping a daily diary, a practice she continued for the next 67 years until her death in 1922. Her diaries from 1855 to 1879 have been digitized to create this online collection.

The diaries provide a remarkable documentation of life in rural northern California in the 19th century. The daily happenings of Delia's life and the Lockeford community are recorded, including the activities of church and temperance organizations as well as the Mokelumne River Ladies' Sewing Circle. Nearly every entry begins with temperature recordings taken at sunrise (written as "T.S.R"), 2 PM, and Sunset (written as "S.S.").

All of the online diaries have full-text transcriptions that can be viewed by selecting the "view: page and text" option to the left of each image. Transcripts within a specific diary can be searched by using the "Search this object" option to the left of each image. Transcripts of all of the diaries can be searched simultaneously through the collection's Search page.

View About
This collection consists of stereographs taken by John Pitcher Spooner in California between approximately 1875 and 1905. Most of the photos are of Stockton and include downtown businesses and buildings, private homes, local farms, the Stockton Rural Cemetery, and the California State Hospital and Insane Asylum.

John Pitcher Spooner (1845-1917) was a prominent Stockton photographer. After working for the Bradley-Rulofson Company, a photographic firm in San Francisco, Pitcher moved to Stockton around 1875. He operated a photographic studio here from the 1870s to the early 1900s (he advertised himself as a "Photographist"). In addition to the John Pitcher Spooner stereographs, the Spooner Family Papers (MSS 270) are also located in Special Collections. Stereographs consist of two paper prints of the same image mounted side by side on card stock. When viewed through a stereoscope, they produce a three dimensional image.

Stereographs were very popular in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The online images of the Spooner stereographs appear as three dimensional photos when viewed through 3D glasses or a stereoscope.

About
From March to May in 1958, the Dave Brubeck Quartet embarked on an ambitious tour of Europe and Asia that was sponsored by the U.S. State Department. This tour was part of a "cultural ambassador" program in which the U.S. government sent prominent American musicians abroad to promote American arts and culture during the Cold War. The Brubeck Quartet's tour itinerary documents performances in Poland, Turkey, India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), East Pakistan (Bangladesh), West Pakistan (Pakistan), Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq.

Throughout the tour, members of the Quartet interacted with local musicians and these experiences inspired the album Jazz Impressions of Eurasia. An excellent account of the State Department's use of jazz bands in cultural diplomacy can be found in the book Satchmo Blows Up the World: Jazz Ambassadors Play the Cold War by Penny M. Von Eschen (Harvard University Press, 2004).

This digital collection consists of materials from the 1958 tour that are housed in the Brubeck Collection. It includes photographs, clippings, concert programs, and audio recordings of Brubeck's wife Iola reading the travel journal written by their ten-year-old son Darius during the tour.

About
The University of the Pacific's main campus in Stockton was established in 1924. The first campus was in Santa Clara (1852-1871), and later moved to San Jose (1871- 1924). The original buildings on the Stockton campus were designed in the English Tudor Gothic style, and this architectural approach has been maintained in subsequent construction. These aerial photographs and maps document the growth of the University of the Pacific over time, as well as the surrounding area of Stockton. They are from the University Records located in Special Collections.
