The collection is co-owned by the municipalities of Lead Deadwood and Spearfish in South Dakota.

The grand opening of Spearfish Canyon Road, presidential visits and a vast selection of early mining photos are among the many images that will have great interest to the general public. Also included are graduation, wedding and family photos that will be useful to genealogists
