Dating primarily from the 1970s through the early 1990s, this series includes both print images and negatives. These images focus on Lindgren's world travels.

Some print images in this series do have negatives and are kept together.  The negatives were organized here as Lindgren had organized them. The description was taken from the negative/photo envelope, which were written by Lindgren or Markwood-Rod.  Those negatives that did not have photographs with them were kept together as units. These negatives, especially those from the 1980s and early 1990s, are for some of the images in the photo albums in series 2.

Significant images include the portraits of Lindgren as a young man and as he aged over time, including his passport photos. There are images of his parents, Roy and Rudy Lindgren, as children, young adults, and as they aged, too.

Series 4: Slides

Sub-series 1: Slide Presentations

This sub-series contains color slides, as organized by Lindgren, of his travels while working, especially in Asia during the 1940s through the early 1960s.

These slides were used by Lindgren for presentations to his classes and for other events.

Sub-series 2: Other slides

This sub-series contains color slides and described as "unused", as opposed to the slides in sub-series 1. These slides were organized by location by Lindgren. The majority of slides have descriptions written on them by Lindgren, as well as lists that were on slide storage cases in Lindgren's hand.  Dating from the 1950s through the 1960s, locations visited include Australia, England, France, Greece, Nepal, North America, Philippines, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland.

All the slides from both sub-series have been digitized as lower resolution JPEG images and available in an instance of Omeka. Each folder in this series was created as a separate collection in Omeka. Also, each image has been given a unique image ID number, starting with "LGR".

Information was added into the description field for individual slides if there was any to add. That information came from what Lindgren wrote directly on the slide as well as anything that was on list from the slides storage box. These lists were only from Sub-series 2: Other Slides. When the writing was hard to read, we did the best we could to transcribe it and then added a question mark in brackets. Anything that was added by Archives' staff was always put into brackets, especially if the slide was not identified but the landmark was easily recognized.

This collection covers a wide variety of topics at St. Cloud State University - people, places, events, units, and athletics. The collection was created from a huge and largely unorganized mess of slides held in University Archives. During the arrangement and description process, nearly all slides were retained and placed into plastic sleeves to make the material more accessible. Since there was no organization to the slides, an artificial order was imposed on them.

Dating mostly from roughly 1985 to 1995, all slides, except for a handful, are in color. There are slides that date before and after that ten year period but the vast majority of the slides are from circa 1985 to 1995. Most slides are undated and unidentified - the slides were put into an appropriate series. Some do have dates stamped to the slides' envelope, but most are not. To date the slides, one must look at content and decide on an approximate date.

There are no specific creators but it is suspected that the University Photographer took many of the images. If not the University Photographer, the images were likely taken by other university employees for university business. Thus, the copyright is held by St. Cloud State University.

Individuals, to the best of our knowledge, were identified, with the names of the person or person known, written on the slide's envelope.

Containing nearly 21,000 slides, this collection is separated into six series. Within those series, some are divided into sub-series when appropriate.

Series 1: Athletics

The series is divided by sport and then by gender, if applicable, within the sport. Nearly all of the images are action shots of various sports. A few folders were of coaches for hockey and football.

Series 2: Buildings and Spaces

This series contains slides of mostly campus buildings and space. There are some slides that depict locations outside of campus and are not.

This series is divided into three sub-series;

Sub-series 1: General Campus

This sub-series contains slides showing campus by air, campus artwork, mostly outdoors, and campus scenes. Campus scenes show various exterior spots on campus and often contain multiple campus buildings. These slides often show people within these spaces, which focus mostly on the space.

Sub-series 2: Specific Campus Buildings and Spaces

Divided by specific campus buildings and space, these slides show most often the exterior and, sometimes, the interior of buildings. The slides are sub-divided when appropriate by folder. Some material here show the interior of campus buildings extensively, most notably Centennial Hall as a library (1971-2000). These slides show mostly students interacting with the space.

If there was a specific event associated with a campus building or space, such as groundbreakings, dedications, and cornerstone layings, the slides were placed in this series and not the Social Activities and Events series.

Sub-series 3: Non-campus Buildings and Spaces

There were some slides that showed non-campus spaces, such as downtown St. Cloud, downtown Minneapolis, and the neighborhood surrounding the campus as it grew. There are some slides that were included here that are now part of campus but when taken were not, such as those that list intersections by street names, and include those homes that stood nearby. These homes no longer stand.

Series 3: Campus Units and Organizations

This series contains materials related specifically to campus units, including departments, programs, and student groups by name.

The slides of International Studies are broken down by host country and show St. Cloud State students in various activities including their rooms, classes, field trips, and participating in social events.

Series 4: People

Sub-series 1: Individuals

This sub-series contains images of individuals. Some people had enough images to fill a sheet or two for the slides and were then given their own folders. Those identified and only had a few slides were put together into a single folder and had their names listed.

Sub-series 2: Students

This sub-series contains images of students. These students are shown together in groups, walking on campus, participating in class, studying, relaxing in their resident hall rooms, attending athletic events, participating in recreational sports, and as cheeleaders, danceline, or as the Husky mascot.

This sub-series does not contain all images of students but those that were generally identified as students outside of those images that appeared in those related to Centennial Hall, participating in study-abroad programs, or those depicted in social activities and events.

Series 5: Social Activities and Events

Filed in alphabetical order, this series contains slides from specific events such as homecoming, commencement, and registration, to politicians, musical groups, and Hollywood actors. Those folders labeled as "Campus Events" contain slides in which the specific event is unidentified.

Those identified and only had a few slides were put together into a single folder and the name of the event listed.

Series 6: Other

This series contains imagess that did not fit into any of the above categories. In this small series, the majority of the images are from the alumni publication Outlook Magazine. This material is from a series of images taken for the cover of Outlook Magazine; the people who do appear in the images are identified as well as the date they were published.

This collection contains the content of a time capsule placed near the cornerstone of Stewart Hall. The cornerstone ceremony was held in mid-May 1948. The time capsule was placed in a 9 inch by 9 inch lead lined copper box.

Nearly all of the material has been published, including a 1944 college history, two copies of the Chronicle student newspaper, and course catalogs for 1947/48 and summer of 1948.

Nearly all of the negatives remain unpublished. The images cover a wide possible variety of topics - athletics, buildings and grounds, events, and people from 1962 to 2004. Because the images were taken by St. Cloud State employees, St. Cloud State clearly owns the copyright.

Negatives are scant here after 2001, presumbly due to the advent of digital photography.

The negatives of the images are filed by job number with a short title; keywords may appear in the description field, especially for buildings and people if known. If any image was published and recognized, the name of the publication and date were recorded in the description field as well. Many more were likely published but not identified as such.

Nearly all negatives are on 35mm film, though other sizes, such as 2.5 x 2.5 inches and 4 x 5 inches, are present.

Most jobs have contact sheets after 1970 - those before likely do not.

Before 1991, nearly all of the images are black and white. Those images that are in color before 1991 are indicated.  From 1991 and after, most of the negatives are in color, and are almost exclusively in color as time passed.  These images after 1991 are not indicated as color.

Lewis and Powers began a relationship despite the 36 year age difference between them.
