Scope and Content Note

This series consists of photographic prints made by James E. Hinton from 1954-2000. The prints include images from his work with the United States government, the advertising industry, and on various films, as well as numerous group and individual portraits. The prints document iconic moments of the 1960s and 1970s including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking at Soldier's Field in Chicago, Illinois, and civil rights and Vietnam War demonstrations, as well as notable figures such as Amiri Baraka and Stokely Carmichael. Hinton was also an early photographer of graffiti and this series contains images used in early articles and books on graffiti art.

Born digital materials include group and individual portraits.

Forensic disk images were created from the optical discs using GuyMager. Individual files were extracted using FTK Imager and scanned for viruses using McAfee’s anti-virus software; none were found. Duplicate and system files have been removed, and files were scanned for personally identifiable information; none were found. Text-based files were migrated to PDF using Adobe Acrobat and image files were migrated to JPG using GIMP. File dates have been changed from the original creation date.
