We are very pleased to announce that Patricia Peters Stephenson has granted the UA permission to created electronic text versions of her books, Tom Marshall's Tucson and A Personal Journey Through The University Neighborhood Built By Louise Foucar Marshall, 1901-1951.

In 1956, Louise Foucar Marshall bequeathed her personal possessions to Ms. Stephenson's mother. Among these possessions were Louise Foucar Marshall's photo collection, diaries, record books, personal and business letters. Re-prints of Tom Marshall's photographs may be found in archives and personal collections. However, Ms. Stephenson owns the original glass plate and film negatives and, therefore, owns the rights to this wonderful collection.
Louise Henriette Foucar, c. 1898
Thomas Keith Marshall began recording Tucson's history through photography from the early 1900s until his death in 1931. Visitors will find the visual record and accompanying history a fascinating telling of a Tucson long past. Watch this blog for updates on our progress.
On November 17, 2006, John Harris, Queensdown (UK) Site Supervisor, for Reclamet Limited sent an email with images of vintage WWII military nose art. We are most appreciative that Reclamet has given us permission to include these images.
We also have a question from Mr. Hughes who asks for assistance identifying "the likely aircraft sections and/or a brief history to these particular images." Can you tell by looking at the panels what type of plane it was painted on? View the images on the Military Aircraft Nose Art: An American Tradition.
