The collection's photographs are primarily gelatin silver black-and-white prints ranging in size from 8x10 to 18x24 inches. Although Chatterley's areas of interest are broad, the most prominent themes in his work are community, labor, and religious expression. The collection is comprised of eight photographic works series titled thematically: Career Retrospective, with nine sub-series including Social Events, Religious Iconography, Labor, Southern Landscapes, Travel, Family, Maine Folklife, TROSA, and Downeast North Carolina; Holy Land, USA, an abandoned religious theme park in Connecticut; MFA Thesis, consisting of the body of work for Chatterley's Fine Arts thesis, "Ambivalent Ecstasies/Converging Energies" ; Penobscot Poultry, a project during which Chatterley also interviewed Maine poultry worker Linda Lord; David "Honeyboy" Edwards, images of an African-American blues musician from Mississippi; Spencer, South Dakota, on a small town devastated by a tornado and then rebuilt; Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA), a project documenting communities in Durham, North Carolina, undertaken with Barbara Lau of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University; and Other Images, several miscellaneous black and white prints, some of which were shot with Chatterley's home-built cameras. A final series entitled Other Materials consists of publication materials relating to From Cambodia to Greensboro, a documentary work on Cambodian immigrants in North Carolina that includes images taken by Chatterley, and five audio cassette tapes containing an interview with Chatterley about his career as a documentary photographer. The cassettes have been converted to digital files and use copies are available for access. Original recordings are closed to use. The bulk of the collection is comprised of the series Penobscot Poultry; David "Honeyboy" Edwards; and Spencer, South Dakota. Series are arranged in rough chronological order; prints are in original order as received.
