The William A. Keleher collection consists primarily of photographs created or collected by Keleher and his family. The collection is divided into 2 series: William A. Keleher Research Photographs and Keleher Family Photographs. Most of the research series pertains to his research on territorial New Mexico, although some photos relate to Keleher's business and civic activities in Albuquerque. This material includes items related to several notable historical figures, including Elfego Baca, William Bonney (a.k.a. Billy the Kid), Erna Fergusson, Edmund G. Ross, Clyde Tingley, and Lew Wallace. There are also two albums of Asahel Curtis photographs. The family series is primarily photographs of William A. Keleher, his second wife (Loretta Barrett Keleher), and their children.
