A variety of photographs are included in the collection, mostly from the early 1900s through approximately 1950. Several Pantlind family members are pictured in the photographs, however many of the people in the photographs are not identified. The collection also contains interior and exterior building shots, aerial views and a street scene. The postcards in the collection are drawings and depict early Grand Rapids scenes.

One notable photograph is of a zeppelin docking at Ford Airport in Dearborn, MI. The dirigible mast was reportedly only used twice.
