Review:
The James Terry Gardiner papers include correspondence, photographs, business papers, notebooks, maps and architectural drawings by Gardiner and his family.

Included in these papers are maps of areas surveyed by Gardiner, photographs of areas in and around Yosemite Park, which was surveyed by Gardiner, and photographs of Gardiner himself. Gardiner's correspondence relates to his survey work, but contains a limited amount of personal material as well.

The family papers relate to Gardiner's grandfather Seth Terry, his wife Ann Grew Terry, and his father, Daniel Gardiner.
