During the mid-1960s the University of California, upon the request of UC President Clark Kerr, world-famous still photographer Ansel Adams was commissioned to "photograph the future of UC".    Ansel Adams took over 6700 photographs of the University of California, from one end of the state to the other, and comprised what constitutes his second largest body of work.  This work is called the Fiat Lux Collection, and is now housed at the UC Riverside - California Museum of Photography.

Part of Ansel Adams's work was a visit to the UC Hopland Research & Extension Center (then called the Hopland Field Station) during May of 1966.   We know of several photographs from this work, but suspect that there are maybe up to 20 or 30 from the Center.

The below photograph, discovered in a UC Berkeley basement, we suspect is one of these.  Other from this collection from Hopland can be viewed at www.zazzle.com/ansel+adams+posters, such as "Sheep - Hopland Station" and "Grove - Hopland Station".

We very much would like to have copies of these various prints framed and on display in our new soon-to-be-open Rod Shippey Educational & Field Lab building.   If you have an interest in donating one of these prints to the cause please contact us.
