walking into my shop might not believe it," he
laughs, "but I know exactly where everything is."
Hathaway's images have been reproduced in
more than 100 books and magazines, including
Smithsonian, National Geographic—even Sports
Illustrated. Acclaimed documentarian Ken Burns
visited Hathaway's shop and came away with
several images that appeared in his PBS series
"The West" ("Burns loved it here," Hathaway
says). UC Santa Cruz Professor Julianne Burton-
Carvajal used 180 California Views images in her
recent work, "Artists' Honeymoon: Rowena
Meeks Abdy and Harry Bennett Abdy at Work
and Play in Monterey and Beyond, 1910-1920."
Those photos were culled from nearly 600 neg-
atives in Hathaway's collection.
So what's going to happen to this collection
when Hathaway himself becomes par t of
Monterey history? His answer is ironic, given
that no museum would take the collection that
became the germ of his life's work: "I'll most
likely donate the collection to the Bancroft
Library at UC Berkley," he says.
