Scope and Contents
The Ellsworth Family Photograph Collection consists of roughly 3,900 prints and negatives (some in color) that document the family of Samuel George and Maria Smith Ellsworth from their ancestors in the 1860s to their immediate family in the 1990s. Included in the collection are images of LDS Church missions and activities, World War II, research and professional work, and family portraits, vacations, and activities. Taken together it is perhaps the most complete visual documentation of a single family in Utah. The photos were taken at a variety of locations in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California, New Mexico, Hawaii, Missouri, Australia, Lebanon, and the Philippines.
The S. George Ellsworth (SGE) photograph albums are located in boxes 5-7. The James Clarence Ellsworth (JCE) photograph album is located in Box 8. More photographs and information on the Ellsworth family can be found in Box 12 of the S. George Ellsworth Photograph Collection P0025. Negatives from boxes 1-14 are housed in boxes 15-19.
