Photographs
Manuscripts
The 46 loose photographs in the collection are mostly unidentified and undated. The dates for the photographs are the 1860s to approximately 1900. It is assumed the individuals in the photographs are Shugart family members. There is one daguerreotype of Zachariah T. Shugart. There are two tintypes of unknown men (one standing with a bicycle). The rest are cabinet cards by various photography studios, mostly in Iowa. The photography studios heavily represented are: Boyd, Des Moines, Iowa; J. L. Hudson and Hudson's Gallery, Tama City, Iowa; J. S. Moore, Toledo, Iowa; J. B. Scholl, Chicago; and I. L. Townsend, Iowa Falls, Iowa.

The diaries consist of two volumes kept by Zachariah Shugart. The first is a diary Shugart kept from January to September 1867 while running a drugstore in Belle Plaine, Iowa. The second diary, kept from September to October 1880, documents a trip Shugart took to Ohio and Indiana. The Bible is a pocket edition of the New Testament published in 1853.
