The collection also includes an album of 49 photographs relating to the 1929 U.S. Navy Alaska Aerial Survey Expedition, featuring aerial views of communities in Southeast Alaska. It also includes a booklet of photos titled "Breaking Ground For The Capitol Building, Juneau, Alaska. September 18, 1929."
