Call number	NAU.PH.95.48
Creator	McKee, Barbara
Title	Family scrapbook of travels.
Date	1930-1940
Type	Image
Description	Family scrapbook documenting several different trips. The images range from scenic shots of the Grand Canyon, Mexico, trips to New England, to pictures of the Museum of Northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon National Park. Outdoor adventure trips include rafting the Colorado River and climbing the pyramids of Mexico. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: The McKees lived at the Grand Canyon for several years. They both wrote for the park's bulletin, Grand Canyon Nature Notes, and Mr. McKee authored 'Ancient Landscapes of the Grand Canyon Region.' The McKees also became acquainted with the Havasupai Indians, an interest which ultimately led to the writing, with anthropologist Joyce Herold, of 'Havasupai Baskets and their Makers: 1930-1940.' They traveled extensively to various regions in the Colorado P lateau, as well as, elsewhere in the United States and to Mexico. Mr. McKee worked on his graduate degree at the University of Arizona, University of California-Berkeley, and Yale. The couple had three children, William (Bill), Barbara (Bobsy), and Edwin (Ted), born in 1931, 1932, and 1935. In 1941, Edwin McKee took a position as Director of Science for the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. The following year he also began serving on the faculty of the University of Arizona in Tucson, where he became Chairman of the Department of Geology in 1951. In 1953, the McKees moved to Denver, Colorado where Mr. McKee began working for the U.S. Geological Survey, first as the chief of the Paleotectonic Map Section, and later as a research geologist, an affiliation he retained for the rest of his life. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Sciences degree by Northern Arizona University (then Arizona State College) in 1957. Edwin McKee died in 1984. Barbara McKee, who donated this collection, died in Denver, Colorado in 1998.
