The bulk of this collection is made up of photographic materials including glass, film negatives along with prints. While the emphasis of the collection is on Ramona Park, the photograph prints focus mainly on Grand Rapids. Negatives and photographs show Ramona Park during the first half of the 20th century, theater programs date from 1908 to 1932, newspaper clippings about the closing of Ramona Park are from the early 1950s, a history of the merry-go-round is included, and postcards date from 1905 to 1925. Catastrophic events in Grand Rapids, like the fire of 1882 and the flood of March, 1904, are depicted in photographs. Lantern slides for Grand Rapids area businesses, which were shown at Ramona Park Theater, are also included in the collection. Page layouts, from The Interpreter, show historic photographs, many of which are from other GRPL Local History photo collections.

A scrapbook (Acc. 1992.030 Anonymous) of Gordon Harrington’s column “Those ‘Good Old Days’”, from The Interpreter, has also been included with this collection’s miscellaneous materials.
