A collection of approximately 1,800 photographs, almost all taken by Stewart Edward White during his outdoor recreational travels in Africa, the United States, and Canada. The prints are primarily 3 x 5 inches or smaller, with a few larger, mounted photographs. Many have handwritten captions in White's hand on the back, along with chapter or article numbers. The Africa photographs depict White and others on safari, posing with killed animals, as well as African men and women and natural scenery. Some of these images were used in the following books by White: The Land of Footprints (1912), African Camp Fires (1913), The Rediscovered Country (1915), and Lions in the Path (1926). Other photographs depict White in the army at Camp Kearny, San Diego; the Bohemian Grove, California and participants; fishing and boating in the Sierras, and a photograph of Native Americans in Yosemite. The second series consists of film stills from two movies based on White's novels: Call of the North (1921) and The Leopard Woman (1920).
