From an early age, Laurance S. Rockefeller (LSR) was an avid photographer, and his photograph collection reflects this appreciation, along with the broad range of his activities and interests. The LSR Photographs collection is sorted into several component groupings, loosely based on format, storage location (home or office), or use (e.g., Photo Reference files), at the time his collection was arranged and catalogued.

LSR Photographs, RG 1, Photo Files contains the bulk of LSR's loose photographic prints from his home and his office, along with some albums and slides. RG 1 is a composite collection. It contains LSR's loose or "flat" photo files, but also materials that for various reasons were not included in the other collection components at the time the collection was organized. RG 1 encompasses personal and family photos, as well as photographic documentation of LSR's business and civic activities. The Rockefeller Family Office's Public Relations files on Laurance and Mary French Rockefeller have also been included as a series in RG 1. Similarly, the photographs and albums from the former Series 1009 Photos (LSR Family) are now interfiled with RG 1.
