The collection consists of approximately 142 original color slides, photographic negatives, photographic prints, original 8mm motion picture film reels, and digitized footage derived from those reels.

The archive may also contain imagery associated with notable drivers and teams competing during the 1957 event, though buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent research regarding specific vehicle and driver identifications.

The collection contains race action, paddock scenes, pit activity, spectators, support vehicles, trackside views, award ceremonies, and other period motorsports imagery associated with one of America's most important endurance racing events.
