The collection contains 571 images, b&w prints and color slides. The photographs date primarily from the 1950s to the mid-1960s, with the legislature as their subject. One oversize image is a composite of portraits by W.H. Case, "1887 Alaska Pioneers' Association," c. 1908. The color slides may date as early as 1935 and the bulk picture Southeast Alaska scenics, Alaska fauna and flora and daily life, such as logging in Edna Bay, haying in the Mendenhall Valley, ice skating and skiing. Other series depict trips to the Yukon and the Aleutians, and 1970s meetings of the Pioneers of Alaska in Fairbanks, Nome and Juneau. Sixty-one images are of the 1964 Earthquake in Anchorage. Two folders of personal papers include Dora Sweeney's official 1962 election certificate, various inaugural programs, an undated fiction piece by Dora, one Legislative resolution and two Governors' Executive Proclamations from the 1980s and 1990s.
