Jackman acquired photos from the Soil Conservation Service, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, and the Oregon State Highway Commission.

Several photos depict The Oregon Desert co-author Reub Long. A large number of images are recent prints of late 19th and early 20th century photographs. Several were taken in Burns and Harney County, and depict Paiute Indians, hunting and fishing, cattle, and other subjects. Other photographers and photography studios represented include R.W. Heck (Burns), Merritt Parks, Joe Van Wormer, Bus Howdyshell, Rey Parodi, Eastman's Studio (Lakeview), and the Coquille Studio.Shorty Hawkins in foreground with his horses, was de-accessioned and removed from the collection in August of 2010.

Images from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital.
