One photograph album is entitled "Nagasaki: City of the Dead" in a calligraphic hand, and focuses on Adler's tour of the city one month after the United States dropped the atomic bomb, 1945 September 18-24. On 20 pages, there are 61 black-and-white 3x5-inch photographs of his tour, documenting the destruction, buildings still standing, medical treatment areas, returned prisoners of war ("ramps"), and conditions for residents remaining. Includes an hand-written introduction, and all photographs are fully captioned in ink. The album also contains a map of Nagasaki and a undated certificate of recognition signed by President George H. W. Bush following Adler's death in 1990 (mentioned in the records file, likely added much later).
