Scope and content
This file contains a letter and photographs sent by Adelaide de Menil to Wilson Duff. de Menil photographs depict totem poles in multiple unoccupied Tlingit villages, with location notes on the verso of each. As indicated in her letter, she was sharing these samples with Duff in hopes of photographing totem poles kept in the storehouse of Totem Park at UBC. de Menil intended to compile and annotate the photographs of these and additional poles in British Columbia to produce a book for publication. This research appears to be what ultimately resulted in the 1971 book "Out of the Silence" by de Menil and Bill Reid.
