Researchers subsequently identified the bulk of images as scenes in Central Texas, as well as one in Rockville, Indiana, and dating approximately 1882-1911. Images that have been positively identified as being in San Marcos include the Hays County Courthouse designed by F.E. Ruffini, the San Marcos River, a landscape that includes the First United Methodist Church, the Belgar-Cahill Lime Kiln, the Powerhouse on the Mill Site on Spring Lake, and a downtown street view. Images that have been identified as San Antonio include scenes from the Battle of Flowers parade, and Fort Sam Houston with Lambermot House and St. Paul's Episcopal Church in the background.

Still unidentified images include portraits of individuals and groups. Notable images include a series of three images showing group of four white people, a Black man and a Black child outdoors next to a steam powered water pump, a group of picknickers, people in horse-drawn carriages, armed white men next to a campfire, and a group of four Black women on the steps of a wood building.
