This collection contains slides of nature-oriented images taken by Max Partch. The images cover a wide variety of flora, fauna and landscape. Images include bird habitats and colonies, varieties of trees, damage and erosion both natural and man-made, nature formations such as cliffs, lakes, bluffs, ponds and marshes, and animals such as fox and beaver. Geographically, the images are primarily from Minnesota, in particular St. Cloud and Stearns County, but include locations in Wisconsin and Arizona. Areas most depicted include the Cold Spring Heron Colony in Cold Spring, Minnesota, as well as other Minnesota heron colonies, nature sites including the prairie around Waubun, Minnesota, Englund Ecotone Preserve in Benton County, Minnesota, Partch Woods, St. Cloud, Minnesota, and other nature sites around Minnesota. Dates range from 1949 to 2003, but are heavily concentrated between 1949 and 1990.
Most slides contain an identifying number. The numbers are unique, but do not correspond to any known system. Most slides also contain a date, location, and brief description, though a few slides lack any additional descriptive information. In some cases, the creator grouped ‘like’ items together for presentations and appearances, and that arrangement has been retained.
The descriptions for each slide was transcribed and included in the finding aid.
