Acquired in the 1990s as an addition to the Bullock family papers collection, this group of images represents African American and bi-racial descendants of the Bullock family of Granville (Vance) County, NC. The earliest image is a head and shoulders portrait of a toddler-aged child, from around 1900-1910 or earlier. Individuals photographed circa 1930s and 1940s are the donor's great-grandfather and great-grandmother Thomas S. Bullock (born ca. 1869) and Eliza Hendricks Bullock (born ca. 1875); grandfather and grandmother George Bullock and Winnie Russell; and aunts Alice and Sally. Other names are Elnora "Noda" Bullock, the donor's mother, as a child. The portrait of Thomas S. Bullock as a middle-age man was taken by the Flushing Photo Studio in Flushing, N.Y. Sally Bullock's photo at age 16 gives the location of Manson, NC, near the Bullock family's original homeplace. Thomas S. Bullock and Eliza Hendricks Bullock are listed in the 1910 census as a mulatto married couple in Nutbush, Vance County, NC. In other censuses and records, they are identified as African Americans ("Negro" or "Black").

The bulk of the photographs in this series were used to illustrate features in the Durham Herald-Sun newspaper. Although small in number, the photographs cover a wide range of decades, starting with three views of interiors of the Health Department labs (circa 1916), and a few images of downtown Durham, N.C. (1920). Editorial notes and occasional titles are penciled on the print versos. Of special interest is a large photograph dating from the 1920s of a large group of Durham-area midwives, mostly African American or multi-racial women, posed with Epperson and several of his staff. The photographs generally measure 8x10 inches.

This album includes approximately 134 photographs with typed captions and commentary. They chiefly document South Korean and American military personnel during meetings, relaxing in quarters, and posing for snaphots and group portraits.

There are also many images from touristic trips to towns, to the Chang Gyung Won (Changgyeong Palace) Gardens, and to Tokyo, Japan, just before Ramsey departed for the U.S. from Taiwan. The first photograph is the only color image in the collection - a snapshot of Korean children playing with a seesaw on the street. Included is a large brochure for the Atami Hotel in Tokyo as well as a publicity magazine about the Tokyo Tower, a record-height communications structure built in 1958.

This album includes approximately 82 photographs with typed captions and some newspaper clippings, and dates from October 1959 through March 1960.

There is one photo of General Paik Sun-yup, Korea's first four-star general, who died at 100 on July 10, 2020.
