The Western Air Photo Collection was given to the Library in 1995 by Tom and Ann Mendenhall who obtained it at a Redwood Acres rummage sale in the mid 1980s. Two Geography Department students, Brian Ludy and Brin Hanna, scanned the photos for a class project in Spring 2003. They conducted research and interviews on the collection and prepared an exhibit of the 58 scanned images.
