content: Photographic material includes portraits of Margery Ryerson and many formal portraits and snapshots of family members and friends in a variety of photographic media including cabinet cards, daguerreotypes, salt, albumen and silver gelatin prints, and cyanotypes. Photos also depict Ryerson with friends, Ryerson teaching classes and in the studio, and Ryerson with some of her models. One photo is of Robert Henri with students at the Art Students League, circa 1918 and two photos picture Loren Barton in her studio. 

The series also includes multiple photos including prints, contact sheets, slides, negatives, and transparencies of Ryerson's adult and child models, and her artwork. There are also photos of cities, travel to Spain and unidentified locations, and a collection of photos likely used as source material for her primary subjects including children, dance, musicians, musical instruments, and animals. At the end of the series is a collection of unsorted and largely unlabeled negatives, 16mm film reel, and microfilm which appear to document many of the same subjects found throughout the series.
