These photographs fall into several different categories. The final 120 images consist of photos and postcards collected by H.H. Hamm in 1950 on his tour of Europe and the Middle East, covering England, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Egypt and the Middle East. Another section of photos covers a trip that the Altona Council took to tour the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior areas in 1939. There are photos of a family trip to Minnesota in 1928 as well as some postcards from Minnesota. H.H. Hamm also went to Niagara Falls and to the New York World Fair in 1939.

Ewert's last hand-writing on the chalk board at MCI, images related to the Heinz Regehr family in Waterloo (relatives) and postcards of places of interest from Pennsylvania to New Mexico, to San Marino, California to Jasper, Sardis and Winnipeg in Canada.

These photographs fall into several different categories. The first 206 are pictures of individuals or groups of people with whom the Hamm family was acquainted. Among these are wedding pictures from the pre- and post- World War I era. Also included in the collection are photographs of public buildings (Altona, Gretna and Ninette in Manitoba). In some cases there are photographs of people related to these institutions as well. Some Winnipeg and Altona pictures show street scenes from the era of 1914-1930. Finally, there are photographs on a variety of other themes such as transportation and travel (British Columbia and Europe). The transportation photos include old bicycles, cars, boats, trains, horse and buggies, and ferries. The travel photos are primarily natural scenery shots of British Columbia. There are also a few photographs and postcards from pre- World War I Ukraine.
