The George Brooks collection includes correspondence, photographic images, and publicity materials. Correspondence (1938-1955) is limited and includes a subpoena, letters, and telegrams written to Brooks. All correspondence pertains to his work with bloodhounds.
Photographic images are more extensive. All are black and white photographs with the exception of one colorized photograph. They range in size from 2 x 4 inches to 8 x 10 inches. Most are not labeled with dates, names, or captions. Photographic images are separated into three categories: dogs and pedigrees, La Crosse area, and people.
Photographs of dogs and pedigrees (ca. 1930s-1950s) include photographs of Brook's bloodhounds and several pedigrees. A few images of another dog are included as well.
Photographs of La Crosse area scenes (ca. 1930s-1950s) include a photograph of a window display advertising Brooks' appearance in
Life Magazine, pictures of the Cass Street Bridge in La Crosse, Wis., and other area photos.
Photographs of people (ca. 1930s-1950s) include Brooks with his dogs, Brooks working at the Bodega Lunch Club, and photographs of other unidentified individuals.
Publicity materials are separated into two categories by size. They include posters, a photocopy of a radio show script, and other materials.
