Series II: Photograph Albums

Series II documents the social and personal lives of the Hamilton family; the photograph albums date from 1936-1948 and include some undated materials. The albums are arranged chronologically, with one undated album at the end of the series. Many of the albums focus on the couple's travels; one album based primarily on the couple's trips to Santa Barbara and Santa Monica, California in 1937, contains photographs of social events and parties, some of which include Hollywood celebrities Myrna Loy and Norma Shearer. Others include photographs of fishing and boating trips to Florida, Maine, and Europe as well as unidentified destinations.
