Images are frequently represented in multiple formats. The vast majority of the collection depicts New Mexico Native Americans. The inclusive dates for the collection are from 1904-1950. The collection does not contain any contemporary prints by Moon; however, there are many contemporary prints by Milner included with the negatives. The Moon images are believed to be unique.
