This collection contains images of Atlanta's physical landscape, including buildings, streets, residences, office parks, retail stores, shopping malls, interstates, and railroads in neighborhoods within the city.

In addition, the collection contains photographs of the city's public officials, and business leaders, and staff members of Central Atlanta Progress, as well as events such as parades, festivals, and presidential campaign visits by Richard M. Nixon. The collection also contains architectural drawings of planned areas in downtown Atlanta., Central Atlanta Progress, Inc.
