Of most interest is the visual component of the collection - photographs, editorial cartoons, and motion pictures. The photographs are of bridges and roads in Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, and Ionia Counties, Marine City, and Sault Ste. Marie. There are also photographs of political activities and campaigning, and visits to defense plants during World War II. The editorial cartoons are originals, most of which were drawn by Detroit News artist Frank Williams.

The films are of Michigan political figures and of various events, including inaugurations of governors and construction and dedication of the Mackinac and Blue Water Bridges, and of Van Wagoner's travels in the West, Europe, and Mexico.
