The photographs, which date from circa 1895 until 1940, include images of the Bogen, Scholtz, Bromberg, Kochman, Shohan, and Mayers families, mainly in Russia and in Arcadia, California. Among these family photographs are portraits and photographs of cinematographer Abe Scholtz, including one of Abe Scholtz with actor Douglas Fairbanks on the set of the 1927 film The Gaucho. There are particularly fine images of the Bogen family home (called Amawaga) in Arcadia, California during the 1920s and 1930s.
