| Morris Kight Collection
Yields Surprise | By Michael C. Oliveira, MLIS
While processing the personal papers of an individual or couple, ONE's archivists sometimes find "collections within collections." These embedded collections are commonly family records such as correspondence and photographs. However, in processing the Morris Kight papers, we found more than 200 photographs purchased by Kight in the early 1980s. The photographs, according to Kight, were from "two old gay men" who "were selling off their disposable materials." The majority of the photographs are of United States Naval personnel stationed on Kwajalein Atoll.
The photographs from Kwajalein document the service of one of the "old gay men" toward the end of World War II. These photographs include shots of airfield personal, transport planes, blimps and bombers, along with aerial photographs of the island and United States Navy ships. The photographs also document the camaraderie of the personnel on base and at the beach.
Along with these photographs are several from World War I through the depression era. The photographs include images from Camp Zachary Taylor in Kentucky and others of women wearing Red Cross aprons, bathing suits and cowboy/western attire. All in all, these photographs provide a fascinating look at tranquil moments amid the violence of war.
