The James Leach photographic collection consists entirely of celluloid negatives in three boxes. The first two boxes are composed of 4X5" prints, while the third is an oversize box containing the 5X7" negatives as noted in the contents list. The bulk of these materials are images depicting Ann Arbor business and educational institutions as well as athletic and community organizations. There is also a select number of Detroit-area photographs, as labeled. These materials are divided into four main series: Business and Commerce, Youth Activities and Educational Facilities, Community Organizations, Groups and Institutions, and Miscellaneous Photographs.
