content: Photographs of Bill and Jane Brown include portraits and candid photographs of Jane, the Browns together and with family and friends. Photographs of Bill include portraits, his early life at Cranbrook and in the Army, at Penland, and a scrapbook titled "Bill and Friends."
Penland photographs are of faculty and students, Penland grounds, Lucy Morgan, and Bonnie Ford. One of the two photo albums of Penland events include photographs of Joan Mondale visiting Penland in "Event 77." Other material consists of slide shows of artists and artwork, works of art from the Brown's craft collection, and works of art by Bill and others. Copies of historical photographs originating in the 1930s-1940s show Penland's early classrooms, buildings, and students, as well as Lucy Morgan's mobile log cabin. Three video recordings appear to be a history of Penland recorded by Chris Felver.
