Travel, circa 1970-1985

Series IV. is comprised of over four-hundred travel guides, brochures, maps, and other souvenirs of notable tourist destinations the Owenses collected while traveling in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. The materials are indicative of informed travel centered on regional culture and history. Particular focus on small towns, cathedrals, chateaus, churches, and museums is demonstrated. Though the bulk of the travel materials were collected in the United Kingdom, the Owenses also toured the Scandinavian region, Belgium, France, and other countries. Materials are arranged by country of origin, as well as by subjects such as "Cathedrals and Chateaus," "Cities and Towns," and "Houses and Castles."
