| The Amon Carter Museum holds the principal collection of Erwin E. Smith’s
work, including more than 2,000 negatives, several albums of prints, enlargements
Smith made in the 1930s, and his personal papers, all of which the museum
received in 1986 from Smith’s half-sister, Mary Alice Pettis. The
Texas Memorial Museum of the University of Texas at Austin holds a collection
of Smith’s work that was exhibited during the Texas Centennial celebration
in 1936. The Nita Stewart Haley Memorial Library in Midland, Texas, has
Smith’s later negatives and a large collection of his photographs
and papers. These were preserved by J. Evetts Haley, the popular western
writer, whose text for Life on the Texas Range (1952) accompanied
Smith’s photographs. |
