Accession Information
This collection was found cataloged among the Special Collections books during a collection shift in 2025. It was decided to remove it from the catalog and create a photo collection. It is assumed that the images were donated between 1989 and 1991, as there was a stamp on the inside cover the binder for the "Southern Utah State College Library". As of 11/12/2025, no other donation information could be found.
It is assumed the creator was Clinton and Joan Murdock's Aero Photo company located in Hurricane, Utah. As their business card was taped to the inside of the original binder, along with a small label stating the time and dated the photos were taken.

The front of each sleeve had a sticker with a description and image number. Prior to resleeving, a photocopy was made of each photo and it's description. A copy of each page was added behind each photo.
