Four photographs of the International Exhibition in Philadelphia, 1876, showing Horticultural Hall, Main Hall (also called Industrial Hall), Memorial Hall, and the Michigan Building with the Detroit Light Guard posed in front of it. Also included are seven photographs of clouds (at the time cameras were not able to expose both buildings and clouds at the same time so the negatives of the clouds were combined with the negatives of the photographs of the International Exhibition to create one print). Also, two photographs of the sculptures "The Forced Prayer" by Pietro Guarnerio and "Religious Liberty" by Moses Ezekiel.

Letters, documents, memorabilia, printed material, prints, medals and sculpture relating to Lincoln and the Civil War period. Included are a letter from Edward Everett, a Philip Henry Sheridan autograph, a document by W. H. Herndon, Linclon's law partner, 19th century leters and documents and 20th century clippings, pictures, etc. of or about Lincoln. The collection features a John Rogers sculpture, "The Council of War," several busts of Lincoln and other two and three dimensional works of art.

This collection contains professional and personal writings, published papers, correspondence, photographs, architectural records, student work, and research materials related to the academic and architectural practice of Talbot Faulkner Hamlin.
