Scope and Content Note The files generally fall into the categories of Arizona and New Mexico cities and towns, military posts, and other places; Tucson, Ariz.; Indians of Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico; Mexico; and individual people. Formats include postcards, stereographs, cartes-de-visite, cabinet cards, cyanotypes, viewbooks, and photoprints. Cities and towns is a heading as well as folders under the names of individual cities and towns. These are often 19th and early 20th century images of celebrations, businesses, buildings, mining activity, floods, and churches. Tucson (Ariz.) is well represented and includes categories such as Tucson (Ariz.)- Architecture, Domestic (including images of some well-known homes), Businesses, Buildings, Clubs, Hospitals, Neighborhoods, Schools and Urban Renewal. In addition to Tucson, Bisbee, Douglas, Globe, Phoenix, and Tombstone are also well-represented. Other places include military posts such as Fort Grant (Ariz.) which includes images of the Corbusier family between 1887 and 1905, picnics, a wedding party, the 14th Cavalry Band, and a few African American 10th Cavalry soldiers. New Mexico places are also present. National parks and monuments are also represented under their names. The Mexico series is particularly strong. It includes images of the Mexican Revolution including the Mexican Army, Revolutionary Army, U.S. Army and U.S. Navy; and cities and people of Mexico including Cananea, Ciudad Juarez, Guaymas, Guadalajara, and Nogales. These are filed directly as in Mazatlan (Sinaloa, Mexico)--Carnivals, 1900-1920 or Mexico--History--Revolution, 1910-1920 (Bands (Music) Rurales). Under the broader category of Indians of North America and Mexico are found folders for individual tribes including Apache, Hopi, Maricopa, Navajo, Tohono O'odham, Yuma, and Yaqui as well as New Mexico and Mexico native peoples. In addition to subjects such as Dwellings, Basket making, Children, Women, and Men, sometimes individual people are listed for example as Apache Indians--Portraits--Bonito. Highlights in this series are Apache Indians-San Carlos Indian Reservation (Ariz.) , Hopi Indians-Rites and ceremonies, and Indians--Tohono O'odham-Indian Achievement Days (showing Home extension fairs, 1930-1934). Many other folders are under subjects such as Mines and Mineral Resources, Railroads, Ranches, Cowboys, Aeronautics, Automobiles, and so on. The Miami Copper Company is well represented with images of buildings, machinery, railroads, people, and more. Schools--Arizona includes photographs of Home Demonstration activities and children's activities at Indian and rural schools in Greaterville, Vail, Jaynes Station, Sonoita, etc. The People category lists people alphabetically under the main heading of People. Many of these images are studio portraits from a Douglas, Arizona photographer, taken between 1917 and 1918, and identified with the person's name. Well-known state and local individuals are also included. These include the Earps, Jeff Milton, Tom Mix, John Slaughter, Nelson Miles, Bruce Babbitt, the Wakefield family, the DeConcini family, and many others. Some individual files contain more than portraits. Edward R. Monk's file has cattle ranching images from his Willcox, Ariz. ranch. B. F. Ord's file has family photographs and Fort Grant officers and wives. Ada P. McCormick's file includes women's activities during World War II, and Margaret Sanger's file includes images of birth control hearings. Another format, which is listed both within the master list and separately at the end, is the Small Collections-Portfolio Boxes.

Several are scenic views of Arizona places including the Grand Canyon, some are Indians--North America--Hopi Indians villages and ceremonies.
