Series I. Photographs, 1927-1977
Scope and Contents
These photographs span most of Barentine's career in oil exploration and depict crews in Louisiana swamps, West Texas, the Rio Grande Valley and other locations, giving evidence of conditions such as approaching dust storms and showing examples of dwellings such as a jacal in the Rio Grande Valley. Exploration equipment is featured in the images, as well as the crew members' families, including a 1977 image of Mr. and Mrs. Barrentine in front of their home, "Dunrovin". The collection also includes some news clippings and fragments of Shell Oil company employee newsletters from the 1960s.
