The photograph series is made up of black and white photographs, color photographs, and negatives, ranging from 1900 to 1998 and the bulk covering 1920 to 1950. The majority of these items are unidentified and undated. There are several folders of photographs that are organized by year as they were dated; several photographs are identified on the verso, some in English and others in Chinese. Many of the photographs depict Kenneth Y. Fung and family and friends in candid situations and family trips (around San Francisco including Alcatraz Island, China, and Hawaii), as well as events such as dinner parties, parades, and the Golden Gate Fair in 1939. There is one folder of portraits with professional photographs and passport and ID photos. There is one photograph of the engagement party for Y. C. Hong and Mabel Chin in February 1931. There are also 9 photographs of receptions and dinners at the Chinese Americans Citizens Alliance's conventions in 1923, 1925, and 1931, depicting the attendees and guests at dinner tables. There were some photographs grouped, and labeled, when they arrived at the Huntington; the archivist kept these groups. Some include the filled-in envelopes from the pharmacies where the photographs were developed.
