The collection is organized by media and the negatives of Will B. Gregg, an Onaway (Mich.) photographer. Each series is then organized alphabetically by topic. Major topics documented include vacation resort communities, such as Sager's Resort on Burt Lake; Bryant's Hotel on Douglas Lake; Torch Lake Camp or Hayo-Went-Ha YMCA Camp for boys, 1927-1928; Also included are the buildings, nature scenes, people, and animals of Boyne City, Charlevoix, Horton Bay, Pellston, Petoskey, Pickerel Lake, Rosedale, Walloon Lake, Traverse City, Omena, Traverse Bay, and tourist sites on Mackinac Island (Mich.). While a number of homes of prominent people in Rosedale, Ellis Real Estate advertisements in Rosedale, and cottages at Pickerel Lake are identified, the majority of buildings and people in the collection are not. Also included are slides (4) and color photographs (9) , 1972, generally related to Ernest Hemingway in Michigan. Other topics documented in the collection include a Petoskey gardening show, 1936; Christmas images, winter sports festival queen in Petoskey, circa 1930s, and lumbering. A gorgeous image of Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad depot, including the baggage wagon and staff, at Traverse City, 1890 is included. Some noxious glass-plates, cellulose nitrate negatives, and film were badly deteriorated and so were scanned. The scans on paper and a CD are included, but the damaged negatives were withdrawn from the collection for health reasons.
