Many of the photographs were for use by the newspaper; there are also a great number of informal snapshots, family photographs, and photographs of Miss Enslow herself. Photographs of notable persons and old photographic portraits dating from the 19th century complete this part of the collection. The slides are primarily those which Miss Enslow took in Europe while she was tour director for the Huntington Publishing Company. Copies of many of her columns and articles are included, along with other items relating to her career as a newspaperwoman. Among her family and personal papers are family correspondence and family legal papers belonging to her father and grandfather. Books, personal mementos, and scrapbooks are also included.
