Primarily photographs of Manzanar, including numerous reproductions of Ansel Adams photos as well as snapshots of Sumi Sakai and others, some with captions. There are a few images of the library staff in 1943 and several of young men in military uniforms both at Manzanar and in Europe, presumably sent to Sumi. A number of photos depict an excursion of Sumi and friends possibly occurring after the war ended but before return to Los Angeles, along with stock photos of the Mojave Desert.
