The collection consists of two scrapbooks, two photograph albums, and a variety of supplemental materials dating 1913 to 1916. The majority of the collection documents the 1913 Boston Chamber of Commerce trade delegation trip to South America. The scrapbooks contain postcards, invitations, menus, brochures, photographs, and other souvenirs that Dillingham collected during the tour. The photograph albums contain 522 black and white snapshots, probably taken by Dillingham himself, that show the delegation members aboard ship and at their many stops along the course of the tour. The snapshots depict village and city street scenes, railroads, harbors, factories, plantations and other agricultural operations in Central and South America.
