content: Series 1: Keystone View Company Lantern Slides and Stereographs, undated, is divided into seven subseries: Subseries 1: #1-#600, undated; Subseries 2: H-1 to H-300; Subseries 3: Biblical, undated; Subseries 4: Santa Barbara, California, undated; Subseries 5: Roads, undated; and  Subseries 6: Miscellaneous, undated.

The series depicts scenes from around the United States and the rest of the world.  Each image is intended to be characteristic of its location and in most cases is accompanied by a text card that describes the scene and gives the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the location.  Many of the glass lantern slides (Boxes 1-15) have corresponding stereoviews (Boxes 24-29) and in these instances two box numbers are given.
