This series includes photographs of members of the various branches of the Hardaways, as well as photos collected by them for various reasons. Dates range from the 1860s to the 2015. Many are identified and/or dated, but many are not. There are some photographs in Series 4 (Personal-Correspondence) which are attached to letters. They were left as found.

Photographic subjects include construction projects of the Hardaway Company dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fishing trips, fox hunting, grouse hunting, World War I, World War II, Franklin Roosevelt, parties, vacations, and many shots of family members in both formal and informal poses.

Large format photographs are filed with the Historic Photographs Collection, but have not yet been incorporated into the on-line data base. A few very large photographs are filed in the Hardaway drawer of over-sized material in the map cabinets.
