The photographs in this collection consist of original prints, copies of originals, and negatives; there are also a few slides. Some prints are black and white, others are colored. The file cards prepared as an index to the photographs give a detailed description of the physical nature of the items.

The first two folders contain some of the pictures used as illustrations in North of the Narrows--these are numbered to agree with the figure numbers in the book, which accounts for the missing numbers in the following list. The remaining photographs were arranged by subject, e.g., people, animals, Shipman Point Dedication, etc., and numbered consecutively from 114 to 317. There are some pictures in the collection which have no apparent relationship to the book or the Priest Lake area, these have not been cataloged.

The cassette tapes are in two groups, the first are the interviews for North of the Narrows, the second those for Claude Simpson's projected book "Panhandle Personalities." In addition to the interviews there are also six tapes of old Edison records.
