The bulk of the collection consists of photographs of residential exteriors and interiors, with some views of other buildings; photographs of Neff's sketches; photographs of architectural drawings; portraits of Neff and family members; and correspondence and patent drawings pertaining to airform construction. The airform construction or "Bubble house" materials also include snapshots of airform housing under construction in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, 1961.
