Images of family, friends and acquaintances document family gatherings and social activities. Depictions of colleagues include Elizabeth Dearmin Furbay and L.S.B. (Louis) Leakey. A carte de visite album that belonged to Herman Herskovits, Melville's father, contains images of possible family members and friends from various Eastern European countries (1860s-1910s). Also included in the personal series are views of the Mexican Revolution (1911) and views of New Mexico and Arizona (n.d.). Images relating to the Mexican Revolution were taken by Melville Herskovits and contained in a scrapbook, kept by Herskovits, which documents insurrection activities around Ciudad Juarez, Mexico (April-May 1911), depicting Mexican President Francisco I. Madero and his followers, the Insurrectos, and their encampments, as well as barricades, battlefields, and the insurrecto hospital. Images also include Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, General Navarro, views of the Battle of Bauche (March 1911), and several group shots of war correspondents from a number of major U.S. newspapers. Some postcard views of the Insurrectos are included. The views of New Mexico and Arizona, which are undated, include landscapes, ruins of Native American cliff-dwellings, a Native American blanket weaver and her children, a young Native American shepherdess with her herd, interior and exterior views of the Thunderbird Ranch in Chin Lee, Arizona, and portraits of Melville and Frances with an unidentified third person.</p>"}
