Collection consists of approximately 300 photographs that appeared in the three volume series, "Beckley U.S.A.," by Harlow Warren, published in 1955, 1963, and 1968. These images document the town of Beckley and Raleigh County, West Virginia. Subjects include portraits of prominent and historically notable citizens; group portraits of families, community and civic organizations, school groups, and city and county officials, among others; interior and exterior views of local businesses and buildings; and aerial views of buildings, roads, and natural features in the region. The collection includes mostly prints, many of which are card mounted. There are also a few negatives, newspaper clippings, and "proof" pages for the book.
