This collection contains a mixture of local newspaper, wire service, and other source photography of people in and around Philadelphia. Materials in collection were primarily drawn from the general subject files of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Library (1929-1982). Other holdings come from the Philadelphia Inquirer (mostly 1939-1960) and Daily News (1958-1962). Although there are some wire service photographs in the collection, the majority of the Philadelphia photographs represent original newspaper photography.

Researchers may also want to request materials from the George D. McDowell Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Photograph Collection, Philadelphia Subjects (SCRC 170B), the George D. McDowell Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Photograph Collection, Suburban Subjects (SCRC 170C), the George D. McDowell Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Photograph Collection, Non-Philadelphia People and Subjects (SCRC 170D), and the George D. McDowell Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Photograph Collection, General Subjects (SCRC 170E). See the Related Material section below for additional related collections.

The addition of "George D. McDowell" to the collection name in no way implies that he was the creator. Rather he was one of scores of staff who worked in the library, and his family supplied a naming gift to honor him and support work on preservation of the collection.
