Spector Family Photographs include photographs of Emanuel Spector's family in Russia; family photographs of Emanuel and Marjorie Spector; and a few snapshots of celebrities and musicians in the early 1940s.

Group shots include many other notable Pittsburghers, such as Rabbi Solomon B. Freehof and Judge Anne X. Alpern, as well as nationally known figures such as Helen Gahagen Douglas, Golda Myerson (Golda Meir), Faye Emerson, and David Ben-Gurion. Later photographs by Marjorie Spector show aspects of her life in Pittsburgh, as well as family plaques and gravestones.
