In addition to Reid’s 1892 photographs, several photographs by J.F Morse, a member of Reid's 1890 party, are included (nos. 23-27). The collection includes views of Glacier Bay, the surrounding glaciers and mountains, Metlakatla and the Sitka Sound. These early photographs are printed on 5 ½ " x 8" albumen paper mounted on 8"x 10" gilt-edged hardboard. The negatives are either 2 ½ " x 3" or 4" x 5" and were made from the original prints.

William O. Fielding, glaciologist, provided a comprehensive list of photographs taken by Reid in 1892 and Morse in 1890. The numbers on that list correspond to the numbers in parentheses in the following inventory, and provide additional information.
