Photo courtesy of Krauss.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Krauss\u2019s role centers on the archives. She spends much of her time at research libraries and archives, including the Huntington Library, ONE Archives at USC, and the Getty Research Institute, working through letters, photographs, and records to find connections between specific elements and Southern California\u2019s past. For each of the 118 elements, she built out a research folder \u2013 notes, archival images, sources, and narrative threads that eventually informed a painting.<\/p>\n<p>Halloran, who worked alongside Krauss on much of this research, described her as \u201cessential to this project.\u201d She credited Krauss with helping walk the Huntington\u2019s gallery spaces with curators to select the exhibition site, and with securing readers\u2019 card access at both the Huntington and ONE Archives at USC.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the day-to-day work happened at the Huntington\u2019s Munger Research Center, where Krauss worked directly with Dan Lewis, the Senior Curator, and his archive staff.<\/p>\n<p>Krauss had a particular talent for finding connections between the elements and historical archives, and two examples stood out to Halloran. The first traces back to the women who worked at Mount Wilson Observatory, mapping the chemical fingerprints of hydrogen and helium. Krauss found their letters in the archives at the Huntington. These women had written in the hope of an opportunity to participate in scientific research and astronomy<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was deeply moved by the letters written by women who were seeking opportunities to participate in scientific research and astronomy,\u201d she said. Halloran singled out this research as some of the most powerful material to come out of the project.<\/p>\n<p>The second came while the two worked through Octavia Butler\u2019s personal archive together. Halloran recalled going through Butler\u2019s photographs, travel records, and the influences behind her 1993 novel <i>Parable of the Sower<\/i>, which imagines a Los Angeles consumed by fire between 2024 and 2027.<\/p>\n<p>The novel\u2019s premise took on new weight in light of Butler\u2019s own history: she grew up in Altadena, the same community devastated by real fires in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCam excelled at finding the threads connecting these stories,\u201d Halloran said.<\/p>\n<p>For Krauss, the archives themselves have been part of her education. \u201cReading about history online is valuable, but standing in front of the original documents creates a completely different experience,\u201d she said. \u201cIt transforms historical research from something theoretical into something human.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The work has also shaped how she thinks about her own path forward. Krauss said the project sparked a strong interest in museums and cultural institutions \u2013 particularly how they preserve and share history with the public \u2013 and that her studies in Law and Liberal Arts have pointed her toward the legal side of museum and cultural heritage work.<\/p>\n<p>Watching Professor Halloran move between rigorous research and artistic practice left an impression, too. \u201cShe has shown me how rigorous scholarship and creative work can strengthen one another rather than exist as separate disciplines,\u201d Krauss said.<\/p>\n<p>Halloran, for her part, said working with curators, archivists, and librarians alongside Krauss has been one of the highlights of the exhibition\u2019s research phase. Of the 118 element folders the project requires, roughly 35 have been fully developed so far, with Krauss continuing her research to help close the gap before the Huntington opening in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back, Krauss said the most rewarding part has been watching individual discoveries add up to something larger. \u201cIt has been especially meaningful to help uncover and share the stories of women and other historical figures whose contributions have often gone unnoticed,\u201d she said. \u201cKnowing that this research will ultimately help bring those stories to a wider audience through art has made the work incredibly fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(Photo header: (left to right) Librarian helping Cameryn Krauss (&#8217;26 Art; Law and Liberal Arts minor) with her research on Invisible Elements.
