The collection consists of ca. 775 gelatin silver photographs, depicting New York City ca. 1939-1954, and in the 1970s and 1980s. The photographs range in size from 5 x 7 inches to 13 1/4 x 22 inches. A series of photographs focusing on 1940s New York contains photographs from Feininger's book New York in the Forties (1978) depicting Times Square, Fifth Avenue, elevated railroads, the Brooklyn Bridge, the waterfront and river traffic, shops and shop owners in a variety of neighborhoods, including Chinatown and the Jewish Lower East Side, and a variety of street, park and skyline views.

The collection consists of ca. 50,000 photographic prints accompanied by route maps. The New York City board of Rapid Transit, the Public Service Commission, and their successors photographed construction of the subway, and its surface extensions in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. By systematically documenting the condition of buildings before construction began, they created an extensive survey of commercial and residential structures along subway routes and also provided glimpses of everyday street life.
