Series I.B. Dinwiddie Construction Company (DcCO) images, 1990-1997
26.08 linear feet
(29 boxes)
Records comprise photographic prints, slides, and negatives, dating 1990-1997, of the Getty Center construction site provided
by Dinwiddie Construction Company (DcCO). These aerial and ground views of the site were likely used to provide the J. Paul
Getty Trust with photographic documentation of the construction progress. Select images may be attributed to George Savery
while the majority of the aerial shots were taken by Warren Aerial Photography, Inc.
It is unclear whether images contained within "Construction progress negatives" and "Site view slides" are duplicates.
