urn:taro:utexas.cah.00486 A Guide to the Calvin Littlejohn Photographic Archive Encoded in XMetaL 2 by Zach Vowell, according to instructions in Editing TARO 2 EAD 2002 Editing Instructions, February - April 2006. Finding aid written in English. Descriptive Summary Littlejohn, Calvin Calvin Littlejohn Photographic Archive ca. 1948-1993 AR 2000-229, 2001-237, 2004-055 63 feet, 5.5 inches. Approximately 70,000 film negatives and 55,000 prints. University of Texas at Austin, Center for American History The archive consists of Littlejohn's professional work done primarily in the Fort Worth, Texas area, including studio portraits, group portraits at social gatherings, church services, school events, birthday parties, and other images of the African-American experience in North Texas. English. Biographical Note

Calvin Littlejohn (1909-1993) was born in Arkansas but moved to the Fort Worth Area in the 1930s and established his commercial photography studio there in 1934. He continued his practice for nearly six decades, initially focusing on the steady work to be found in documenting families, business establishments, churches, schools, and the various cultural organizations supporting the surrounding African-American community. World War II interrupted his photographic work, as he served as an Army private at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, but upon his return Littlejohn began expanding his scope to include capturing recreation hall parties, speaking engagements, visiting celebrities, and other everyday events which produced more candid photographs than his studio portrait work, which he still maintained.

Though Littlejohn spent time as an accomplished gardener, civic developer (in his attempts to revitalize Fort Worth’s Evans Avenue business district), publisher, and inventor, the demands of his successful photography studio, as well as occasional freelance photography for newspapers like the Fort Worth Mind, Lake Como Monitor, La Vida News, the Fort Worth Press, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, occupied most of his time. Littlejohn’s work provides a comprehensive portrait of the African-American experience in Fort Worth and Tarrant County during segregation and beyond.

 Scope and Contents

Both black & white and color negatives, proofs, photographic prints, mounted slides, correspondence, business records, and artifacts document the life of African-Americans in Fort Worth and Tarrant County during the mid-20th century as well as the post-war portion of Littlejohn’s career in photography. Individual portraits comprise nearly half (30 linear ft.) of the archive, and document Fort Worth’s history at a personal level. The other aspects of Littlejohn’s commercial photography, which encompassed photographing weddings, churches and church-sponsored occasions, parties, fashion shows, formal balls, fundraisers, and other social gatherings, make up most of the remaining archive.

The manuscript material illustrates Littlejohn’s business practices, his extensive community involvement, as well as his family life. Littlejohn’s friends and family are further represented in a series of photographs maintained by the photographer separate from his commercial work.

 Arrangement

The Littlejohn archive’s arrangement reflects the photographer’s business practices, separating his portrait-based business from his other photographic services (which he labeled as “comm.” on the envelopes which held and organized the photographs). These envelope-level descriptions, which account for the bulk of this inventory, are taken from the Littlejohns’ (including his wife, Lucretia, or “Lou”) own writing on the envelope, and most likely reflect the purchaser of the photographs, which is not always the same as the subject of the photograph.

ARCHIVIST'S NOTE:Where the Littlejohns’ handwriting was unclear on the envelopes, the archivist has indicated his best conjecture with a [question mark in brackets?]. A photocopy of the envelopes in question can be found next to the image in the box. Additional descriptions added by the archivist, including quantities indicated at the end of many entries, are also indicated by brackets. The Littlejohn Studio, and the photographer’s family after his death, provided all other descriptive content outside the brackets.

 Custodial History

After Calvin Littlejohn’s death in 1993, Lucretia Littlejohn donated the archive’s materials to the University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, Special Collections. In December 2001, most of the archive was physically transferred to the Center for American History, and since then two more accessions have arrived at the Center from Ron Abram, Littlejohn’s grandson and current representative of the Littlejohn estate.
