Many identified family members (mostly Cole family), family homes (including one with a windmill at 1545 Webster St. Oakland), other views of Oakland, Los Angeles, and scenes from places around the globe (England, New Zealand, Hawaii etc.) Material from New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii consists chiefly of portraits of friends and noteable persons, dating from the 1860s, acquired by Leander Goss Cole on travels. Captions appear to be in the hand of Gladys Tilden. Loose photographs have been removed from the album and foldered separately (PIC box 1).
