NORMAN E. RILEY PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION: PART I INVENTORY, DESCRIPTION, AND DISCUSSION OF
35MM BLACK AND WHITE NEGATIVES AND CORRESPONDING PRINTS DONATED TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, UC DAVIS
May 1, 2012
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION
The Norman E. Riley Collection is divided into six parts. Part I is made up entirely of black and white 35mm negatives and selected
prints from those negatives. Part II comprises 35mm color negatives and representative prints, and 120 format black and white
negatives and corresponding prints. Part III is made up of 4x5 black and white negatives and related prints. Part IV contains both
8x10 black and white negatives and prints from those negatives. Part V is a collection of 35mm, 4x5, and 8x10 negatives and
corresponding prints that represent what Riley considered to be best artistic work. Part VI contains negatives made before or after the
organization of the preceding parts that were not included in Part V. Part VI also contains prints associated with those negatives and
the photographer’s notebooks, diaries, letters, and publications related to photography.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE NEGATIVES IN PART I
There are 5,143 black and white 35mm negatives stored in 236 separate sheets1 in this Part I of the collection. No effort was made to
arrange the sheets in chronological order; however, the negatives are organized so that in most cases those grouped together in a single
sheet originate from the same roll of film. The information regarding film type, speed settings, filter use, and processing methods
listed in Table I below was taken directly from the notes on the glassine envelopes in which the 35mm negatives were originally
1 The polyethylene sheets are from “Print File,” an archival materials supplier located in Apopka, Florida.

stored, or from notebooks or diaries kept by the photographer. The works are dated precisely where notes on the original glassine
envelopes or entries in notebooks and diaries supported such identification. In other cases, dates were determined (e.g., “1984”) or
estimated (e.g., “c.1984”) based on information known to the photographer.
Riley used commercially-available films in cartridges for his 35mm work. At the time these negatives were made, the black and white
35mm roll films Riley used were sold in lengths of 20 or 36 exposures, and the negatives are numbered 1 through 20 or 1 through 36
accordingly. The negatives are arranged in numerical order in each sheet.2 Occasionally, the viewer will see reference to negative
numbers “0,” “21,” and “37” in Table I. This simply means that in such cases the photographer was able to get an additional exposure
or two on the roll because less of the film leader was wound onto the take-up spool. Where a 35mm negative number is missing from
a sequence either: (1) the negative was withheld because it was still being actively printed at the time Part I was assembled;3 (2) the
negative was intentionally or accidentally not exposed; or (3) the negative was intentionally discarded.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRINTS IN PART 1
The 17 photographs presented in Part I are from negatives in Part I of the collection. All of the prints in Part I are dry-mounted on
100% acid and lignin-free, white cotton rag boards of 4-ply thickness, buffered with calcium carbonate. Some of the boards were
obtained from “Archival Methods” in Henrietta, New York, others were obtained from Light Impressions in Rochester, New York.
The dry mount tissue used in every case is Seal/Bienfang MT-5. With the exception of one image printed on Forte paper, the prints in
Part I are either vintage prints on Ektalure G processed in either Dektol or Selectol, or new prints made on: (1) old Ektalure G stock
developed in Ansco 103; (2) Ilford MGIV developed in Ansco 103; or (3) Ilford MG Art developed in Ansco 103. All prints were
toned in a selenium bath. In cases where spotting was required, “Spotone” fluid manufactured by Retouch Methods Co., Inc. in
Chatham, New Jersey was used. Each mount is stamped on the back with black Sanford ink. The title of the image, the identification
number corresponding to the negative from which the print was made, and the dates of the negative and print are written in pencil
inside the stamped area. The finished photographs are each stored in a polyethylene sleeve, and together the 17 photographs are
contained in a grey, 3-inch drop front archival box from Archival Methods.
2 Exceptions to this rule occur in a few cases where negatives from different rolls have been grouped together in a single sheet. In such instances, the negatives
are arranged in the sheet in the same order as described in the table. For example, see NR35-055 and NR35-235. 3 Negatives initially withheld are included in Part V or Part VI of the collection.

“1:0” refers to a developer made to full strength without dilution. “1:1” means one part full strength developer diluted with one equal
part of water (e.g., 300 ml developer + 300 ml water for a total of 600 ml of working solution). “1:2” means one part full strength
developer with 2 parts water (for example, 200 ml of developer + 400 ml of water for a total of 600 ml of working solution). In those
cases where Riley experimented with mixing developers, 1:1 means equal parts of each developer at full solution strength were used.
“120 format” refers to a film imaging format of medium size. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/120_film
“4x5” refers to a “large format” film 4x5 inches (102x127mm) in size. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_format

“ASA” stands for “American Standards Association.” The ASA system was one of several developed for rating the speeds of
different films. It has been largely replaced by the “ISO” rating system. For more information on the ASA and other speed rating
systems see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed or other authoritative references.
“D72” is an Eastman Kodak Company (“Kodak” hereafter) formula producing results substantially similar to those obtained with
Dektol. Like Dektol, D72 is a MQ paper developer producing neutral tones on most papers.
“D76” is a Kodak formula for the development of black and white negatives. According to the Photographic Lab Handbook, 5th
Edition, John S. Carroll, American Photographic Book Publishing Co., Inc. (AMPHOTO), Garden City, New York, 1979, “Kodak
Developer D-76 is a classic. Its ability to produce full emulsion and maximum shadow detail with normal contrast has made it the
standard by which other developers are judged.” D76 is a MQ developer.
“Dektol” is a trademark name for a proprietary, neutral-toned, pre-packaged MQ developer manufactured by Kodak. Dektol is a black
and white paper developer. In his early experiments, Riley occasionally used Dektol (or mixtures of Dektol and other paper
developers) as a negative developer. Such instances are noted in the table above.
“Ektalure G” was a Kodak-manufactured black and white, double weight, fiber-based paper having a cream-colored based and fine
grained “lustre” [sic] surface. Ektalure G was discontinued by Kodak in 1999. For technical information regarding this paper see:

“G0” refers to a yellow/green-colored contrast control glass filer made by Minolta Co., Ltd., Japan.
“HIE” means “High-Speed Infrared Emulsion.” This black and white film manufactured by Kodak and discontinued by them in 2007
was also designated as film number “2481.” For technical information regarding this film see:
http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/f13/f13.pdf.
“HIE135-20” means a 20-exposure roll of 35mm HIE film.
“HIE135-36” means a 36-exposure roll of 35mm HIE film.
”Ilford Pan F”was a black and white panchromatic film, manufactured by Ilford Limited (subsequently Harman Technology Ltd., and
commonly referred to as “Ilford Photo”) with a box speed rating of ASA 50.
“MG” stands for “multigrade” paper. Multigrade papers are also known as “variable contrast” papers.
“MG Art” is a multigrade, double weight, fiber-based paper with a textured matt surface and eggshell sheen produced by
Ilford/Harman.
“MGIV” stands for “Multigrade IV,” a glossy, double weight, fiber based paper produced by Ilford/Harman.

with other substances to produce large and broad classes of black and white developers for both films and papers.
59
“N” or “N exposure” means “normal exposure” as indicated by the exposure meter used. N-1, N-2, N+1, and N+2 refer to exposures
that are under (-) or over (+) normal exposure by the number of stops indicated (e.g., N-1 indicates an exposure one stop below normal
exposure, and N+1 indicates an exposure one full stop over normal exposure). These are “Zone System” notations. The Zone System
is a method of exposure and development control based on sensitometry, developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer between 1939
and 1940. For more information about the Zone System see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_System, consult “The Negative,”
Ansel Adams, Little, Brown, and Company, Boston, Massachusetts, 1981, or see any one of many equivalent references.
“NR” means “Norman Riley.”
“NR35” means a 35mm negative by Norman Riley.
“NR35-037” refers to sheet number 037 of 35mm negatives by Norman Riley. In Part I of the collection, sheets are numbered
sequentially beginning with “NR35-001” and ending with “NR35-236.”
“O2” refers to a medium orange-colored contrast control glass filter made by Tokina Co., Ltd., Japan.
“P” denotes a print. A print identified as “NR35-001-P20,” for example, is a print from negative number 20 in sheet number 001 of
35mm negatives. A stamp on the back of each print mount bears the title of the image, the date that both the negative and print were
made, and the corresponding negative number.
“PL” stands for “polarizer.” The presence of this note indicates that a glass polarizing filter was used during the exposure of the
negative(s). The PL filter Riley used for 35mm work was manufactured by Tokina Co., Ltd., Japan.
“PMK” stands for “pyrogallol-metol-Kodalk” an advanced film developer. “Pyrogallol” and “metol” are common chemical names.
“Kodalk” was Kodak’s trademark name for sodium metaborate. Although PMK contains metol, PMK is not a MQ developer. PMK is
virtually the only film developer Riley used for personal work after late 1984 when he made the transition from the 35mm camera to
the larger 4x5 camera.
“PX” refers to “Plus-X,” a black and white panchromatic film made by Kodak with a box speed rating of ASA 125. PX was also
designated as film number “5062.”
60
PX135-20 refers to a 20-exposure roll of 35mm PX film.
PX135-36 refers to 36-exposure roll of 35mm PX film.
“RC” means “resin-coated.”

and sold under the trademark name “Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner.”
“Selectol” was the trademark name for a proprietary, warm-toned, pre-packaged MQ black and white paper developer made by
Kodak.

developer made by Kodak.
“Technical Pan Film 2415” was a slow, high-contrast, and fine-grained film made by Kodak and discontinued in 2003. See:
http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/p255/p255.pdf for technical information about this emulsion.
“TX” refers to “Tri-X,” a black and white panchromatic film made by Kodak with a box speed rating of ASA 400. TX was also
designated as film number “5063”
“TX135-20” refers to a 20-exposure roll of 35mm TX film.
“TX135-36” refers to 36-exposure roll of 35mm TX film.
“Vintage Print” means a print made at the same time or shortly after the corresponding negative was produced. NR35-090-P14 is a
“vintage print” because it was made in December 1982, shortly after the corresponding negative was made. Although NR35-105-26
was made in 1983, the corresponding print (NR35-105-P26) is not a “vintage print” because it was made in March 2012, not in 1983.
61
“YA2” refers to a medium orange-colored contrast control glass filter. Riley used two different “YA2” filters for 35mm exposures.
One was labeled “PRO, Japan,” and the other was made by Ampro Corp., USA. The PRO YA2 was slightly darker than the Ampro
version and nearly identical in color to the O2 filter manufactured by Tokina Co, Ltd., Japan.
“Y52” refers to a medium yellow-colored contrast control glass filter made by Minolta Co., Ltd., Japan).
