The collection consists of a series of diaries (37 volumes, 1900-1938) and 8 photograph albums (approximately 1862-1919) related to Selena Gray Galt Ingram. (There are no diaries for 1934 or 1937.) The diaries reflect the social life and customs of the Los Angeles area, 1902-1938, including descriptions of the Banning family, the Patton family, Santa Catalina Island, and ranch life in Imperial Valley. There are also passing references to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and the Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railroad Company. Some diaries also document the few years Ingram spent in St. Albans, Vermont; Empalme, Mexico; and Berkeley, Mill Valley, San Francisco, and San Rafael, California. The photograph albums depict many of the same people and places listed above, as well as some photographs of Yosemite, 1903. An album dating from 1908-1914 contains many images of Imperial Valley and the Ingram ranch near Holtville, California. Some of the diaries also contain photographs, including George S. Patton Sr., George S. Patton Jr., the Patton home, and other family (1911 diary), and a photograph of Captain William Banning (1913 diary).
