G. E. Dyke-Poore seaweed specimen album
Manuscripts
A Victorian album of seaweed and algae specimens collected and preserved by G. E. Dyke-Poore. The album contains twenty-three seaweed specimens mounted on cards and then mounted on pages bound in the album; there are also four additional specimens mounted onto loose pages laid into the back of the album. The specimens are carefully pressed onto each card and labeled with their Latin names; the specimens seem to have been gathered in Jersey, with one specimen from The Heads, Tasmania. The album is bound in contemporary pink and gilt illustrated paper covers (possibly homemade), with the remainder of green silk ties. Mounted onto the verso of the front cover is a little green card which says "Collected, Arranged, and Mounted by Miss G. E. Dyke-Poore, Jersey" and there is also a short poem inscribed by Miss Dyke-Poore at the beginning of the album.

Alice S. Arikawa photograph album
Visual Materials
A photograph and scrapbook album compiled by Alice S. Arikawa, a young Japanese American woman in Los Angeles, California, that chronicles her youth from 1934 to 1942, just before the Japanese American internment during World War II. Snapshot photographs are pasted on black paper pages, with captions by Arikawa written in white pencil. Images depict Arikawa and friends at Lafayette Junior High School, then Jefferson High School (both in central Los Angeles), and participating in a wide range of social and school activities in and around the Los Angeles area. She and a diverse group of friends are seen on beach outings, going to Santa Anita Park, the Huntington Library gardens (four images), attending a formal dance, and horseback riding. Other subjects are her family, a business correspondence class in 1936, and activities with the Kalifans, a Y.W.C.A. social group. The album's last images are dated March 1942, just before Arikawa's incarceration at the Manzanar War Relocation Center. The album contains a graduation class portrait taken inside Manzanar, but it does not appear that Arikawa is part of this group (she graduated from high school in 1937). Ephemeral items include school programs, and an identification card belonging to Arikawa's brother, John, age 15.

Alice Jones MacMonnies Papers
Manuscripts
The correspondence in the collection almost entirely consists of letters sent to Alice Jones MacMonnies from about 1917 until 1929. The bulk of the correspondence is from Alice's mother Georgina Sullivan Jones, and the letters focus on news regarding family members and acquaintances, including General John Pershing. Georgina writes of sculptor Prince Paul Troubetzkoy's commission to create a bust of Henry E. Huntington in 1917 and of her hatred of Troubetzkoy, and relates being angered by a discussion that rated Troubetzkoy and Auguste Rodin as the greatest living sculptors with no mention of MacMonnies. Other letters describe events related to World War I, such as the raising of funds for French orphans and news of a friend's brother who was killed in an "aeroplane accident" in France. An undated letter from Alice's nephew Gregory Jones (the son of her half-brother Roy) describes war conditions in St. Rhomble, France, and the "defiant" attitude of German prisoners-of-war toward the French and American soldiers. A series of 1925 letters recount Georgina's trip through Spain and France, and other topics covered throughout the correspondence include Georgina Jones Walton's play Light of Asia (1927), the Jones' mining interests in Alaska, Alice's interest in New York real estate, and memories of John P. Jones, whom Georgina wished had "lived to see the wonders that science has accomplished and what has been done in the film world" (1933). A few letters from Alice regarding the Jones estate before and after Georgina's death, including a notebook of property values from 1924, are also included. The diary volume was kept by Georgina Sullivan Jones during her 1896 European tour with Alice following her graduation from Bryn Mawr, and chronicles their voyage across the Atlantic on board the St.Paul of the American Line, as well as their travels through London, Paris, Berlin, Beyreuth, Munich, Innsbruck, Venice, Milan, Rome, and Zurich.The photographs of Alice MacMonnies and her sisters Georgina and Marion range from her childhood to adult years, including her 1896 class photo from Bryn Mawr College.
