OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION

Extent: 4 boxes; 3.1 linear feet

Language and Scripts: The collection is in English.

Name of creator(s): Harold W. Hitchen, Malita Weldon Hitchen, Don C. Knudsen, J. J. Braun

Administrative/Biographical History:
Harold W. “Sparks” Hitchen was born in Newberg, Oregon, on Sept. 29, 1915. He was
educated at Newberg Union High School (graduated 1934) and the Oregon Institute of
Technology (graduated 1938). From 1941-1944, he taught avionics at Oregon State College
and Portland University. During that period, he also participated in Air Force student pilot
training in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

Hitchen came to Anchorage in March 1944 as an avionics engineer for Morrison-Knudsen. In
1945, he married Malita Weldon, who worked as a nurse for the Alaska Railroad. In 1946, the
couple purchased a home in Olympia, Washington. In 1950, Hitchen returned to Alaska and
established Communications Equipment & Service Co. in Anchorage, which he operated until
1958. From 1962-1979, he managed the communications and automation department for
Chugach Electric Association. He is credited with installing the first common carrier radio-
telephone service in Alaska and the state’s first one-way paging system.1 After retiring in 1979,

Hitchen was an active ham radio operator (call letters KL7PG). Hitchen died on August 27,
2005.


Scope and Content Description:
The collection consists of 1054 images, most mounted in four albums, depicting scenes from
the life and career of Sparks Hitchen, throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
Photographs are in print, negative, and 35mm slide formats. There are also ephemera and a
publication, Fond memories of Anchorage Pioneers, Volume I.

Album 1 was compiled by Harold Hitchen and includes images from Oregon, Washington, and
Idaho before his arrival in Alaska. It also includes images from Anchorage, primarily Merrill
Field, and images from his trips along the Glenn and Richardson highways and to the Nome
area, all from 1944. Album 2 seems to have been compiled by Malita Weldon prior to her
marriage to Hitchen, and includes primarily photographs from a trip to McKinley Park in 1944.
Album 3 also seems to be have compiled by Malita, and includes images from the Hitchens’
honeymoon as well as their move to Washington State in 1946. Album 4 was compiled by
Harold and contains images from Anchorage and Merrill Field, 1944-1945, including the fire at
the Morrison-Knudsen hangar in spring 1944. Loose photographs include images dated 1943-
1985 (bulk 1943-1957), primarily Anchorage city views, 1964 Alaska Earthquake damage, and
scenes from Hitchen’s business and various construction projects.
