content: This subseries consists of prints, negatives, and slides produced by Chickering and Porterfield in their print photography career. It is arranged in two further subseries: 9.3.1 Selected photographs, circa 1985-circa 1995; and 9.3.2 Travel slide collection, 1963-2001, undated. 

Subseries 9.3.1 consists of prints, negatives, and slides. Prints and negatives are largely associated with the New York Times, while slides were mostly deposited with Photo Researchers; these images, which often remained in their original return mailing envelopes, were selected by Chickering and Porterfield for publication submission and may or may not have been published.

Subseries 9.3.2 encompasses an estimated 146,500 35mm slides with a wide geographic range, though a particular emphasis on North American, Caribbean, and European tourist sites and ports. Many slides (especially those sent out for deposit with a stock photography company) are individually labeled with explanatory captions. In contrast to 9.3.2, these slides remained in the binders in which Chickering and Porterfield had originally housed them, suggesting they were retained in storage rather than submitted for publication.
 
Slides that had been housed in binders are arranged alphabetically by geographic location, then chronologically. Other photographs arrived loose and generally remain unarranged. Many materials still in original housing.
