The historic and cultural sites include photographs of missions and churches; commercial, municipal and residential buildings, including historic adobes; schools and parks; railroads, emigration, and stagecoach routes; Campo de Cahuenga; Busch Gardens in Pasadena; the Modjeska home in Santa Ana; the Lake Vineyard, Sunnyslope, and the Rowland properties in the San Gabriel Valley; and images of Native Americans and Native American culture.

King and family, Vicente Lugo, Charles Prudhomme, Truman H. Rose, William Rubottom, Abel Stearns, 1st Worshipful Master of the California Masonic Lodge Levi Stowall, and the Workman family. Some of the 4 x 5 inch and smaller glass negatives and lantern slides depict historic sites of Northern California, including mining camps of the California Gold Rush. There are also miscellaneous images pertaining to themes with no direct relationship to California or the American West, such as Freemasonry and general United States history. The United States history images include copies of Abraham Lincoln portraits and the Lincoln home in Kentucky as well as early American figures including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.

Photograph album of U.S. Army camp and military parades in Northern California
Visual Materials
An album of 44 photographs mounted on heavy boards with several images related to soldiers based in Northern California around 1898. The album begins with views of Boulder Creek and the town of Ben Lomond in the Santa Cruz Mountains, followed by views of San Francisco, including the Cliff House (the second building, which was built in 1896), the Ferry Building and ferries in the bay, and a military parade of soldiers marching down a city street in San Francisco. There are several bird's-eye-views of an unidentified U.S. Army camp with tents, fort buildings, and images of soldiers drilling, probably in the San Francisco Bay area. Another patriotic military parade is shown in a small town, with a replica of the battleship Maine (which was sunk in 1898), American flags, bicyclists, and children dressed as sailors. The back of the album contains family photographs with portraits of women in long dresses posed inside a house, and an older couple outside a gingerbread style Victorian house with a garden.
