Series 17: Slides, 1944-1983

Housed in the Photo Vault, the series contains Kodachome and Ektachrome slides that visually document Maguire's expeditions and research trips that took him from Utah to British Guiana, and as far as Africa and Asia. Over two dozen expeditions and research trips are covered. For the most part, Dr. Maguire arranged his slide collection in containers chronologically by expedition utilizing Roman numerals ranging from one to twenty-two. Some containers include slides for more than one expedition. Every effort was made to keep Dr. Maguire's original order and therefore this series is arranged by his Roman numeral organization. There are also miscellaneous slides that were outside of Maguire's numbering system. An inventory list for most expeditions is included in each carton. For additional visual material, see Series 12 and 18.
