Harris, related to his 42-year career with the Los Angeles Railway and his service as a captain in the U.S. Army Engineers, World War I.

Images include: construction and engineering work on railroads in the Los Angeles area; Harris and other men working on surveying projects, 1902, in Mount Lowe and Garvanza; survey parties in the California Sierras and San Bernardino Mountains.

A photograph album, 1901-approximately 1919, includes views of Redondo Beach; personal images of Harris and family members; San Pedro Harbor; and railroad tracks being laid for a streetcar line. Several images show Latino workers digging and laying tracks, approximately 1903. The album has handwritten captions for several photographs, but many scenes are unidentified. The images of World War I France include 52 photographs by Harris, with some commercial photographic postcards. Images show war ruins; decorated graves; battlefields; soldiers; people at train stations; countryside scenes, and a group portrait of Harris and other uniformed soldiers at Roymeaux Field, May 21, 1919.
