The James B. Richardson, III photographs and slides includes late nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs and lantern slides. The photographs are mostly studio portraits of individuals from Pittsburgh, western Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Some of the photographs are identified, including photographs of the 1873 graduating class and professors at the Western Theological Seminary. All of the lantern slides are identified and depict locomotives and industrial scenes in Alabama, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as the Point and the Fort Pitt block house in Pittsburgh. One of the seven albums is identified: it contains images of Washington and Jefferson College faculty and students from 1864. One of the oversized folders contains a poster entitled The Great "Welcome Week" Steamboat Race, a race between the Homestead and the William Larimer Jones that took place on the Ohio and Monongahela Rivers on May 21, 1949.
