The collection consists of eleven boxes of miscellaneous photographs of various dates, creators, and conditions, all pertaining to local Bristol history. Some photographs are copies with the status of the original prints and their provenance being unknown.

Photographs within this collection have been digitized and published to the Digital Collections website. Any that are photocopies have not been included online for publication, but can be viewed in the physical collection.

This collection is organized in individual files of record bodies deemed too small to have their own collection and are from a wide variation of accessions and provenance, or have a lack of provenance. Items within these small collections are organized in original received order from the respective creators or donors.
