The collection contains material in seven series, including:

6.) Price Family
7.) Miscellaneous.
1.) Road Survey ; Box 1; 30 folders; ca. 1925-1935; includes: photographs documenting survey of West Virginia roads; regarding dirt and gravel roads, road construction, surrounding terrain near the roads, as well as the completion of some portions of the roads. Prints are available from 38 of West Virginia's 55 counties. However, there is more of an emphasis on the northern section of the state. Many of the prints are labeled with a district number, name of the county, and the state route number of the road in the photograph. Prints from Monongalia County and Kanawha County are included in this series. Includes prints and negatives.
2.) West Virginia Landscape ; Box 1; 1 folder; ca. 1925-1935; includes: 30 prints and 5 negatives of West Virginia landscape by Paul H. Price. The prints reveal landscape of Hardy County, West Virginia amongst other areas along the West Virginia counties that border Virginia.
3.) Landscape ; Box 1-2; 11 folders; ca. 1925-1935; includes: a diverse series of unidentified landscape photographs, possibly of the mountainous spine along the West Virginia and Virginia border. Includes prints and negatives.
