Scope and Contents note:
The collection comprises mostly portraits of Diné/Navajo individuals as well as several photographs of people with horses. A list of identifications accompanies the photographs.
Biographical/Historical note:
From 1908-1911, William M. Pennington and Lisle Updike operated the Pen-Dike Studio in Durango, Colorado. Pennington's main focus was studio portraiture while Updike took mostly landscape photographs. In 1911, Pennington bought out Updike's share in the studio and renamed it the Pennington Studio. Pennington and Updike worked together again in the early 1920s photographing the Navajo community in and around Shiprock, New Mexico; the photographs in this collection are probably from that assignment.

Additional Pennington photographs can be found in the National Anthropological Archives in Photo Lot 59.
