The Contents List provides the following information: Image Description, Date, and Serial Number. Unless noted otherwise, the information was compiled from the photographer's original photo sleeve. The processing archivist added the descriptive information contained within square brackets. Several images also had a later date on the print.

Both the prints and negatives are arranged in serial number order. The serial numbers are Kunstbeck's original serial numbers, with the exception of A1, which the processing archivist assigned.
