content: Include both personal and work-related photograph albums, snapshots, and photographs. Personal photographs primarily document travel, including camping in a trailer, Christmas parties, birthday celebrations, and retirement. Many photographs include political figures; for example, there is one of Slaughter with President and Mrs. George Bush. Several hundred official photographs document both the pageants held in Atlantic City but also the subsequent publicity activities in which Miss Americas engaged during their year-long reigns. Most of the photographs are in black and white and are all captioned on the back by Slaughter. Materials are arranged in chronological order.
