The bulk consists of salt prints and albumen prints taken by Nathaniel Fish Moore. Copy prints, correspondence, and other material that document the photography of N.F. Moore are included. This collection contains an early photograph of Columbia College at Forty Park Place, New York City, and portraits of Pierre Toussaint and Clement Clarke Moore, the latter credited for the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" more commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas."

In this manuscript diary, the then-recently retired former Columbia College president and former Trustee, Nathaniel Fish Moore records part of his trip to England in 1851. On the cover, Moore calls it "Visit to England etc., Volume 3rd." It includes entries from Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Paris, London, Liverpool, etc.
