The collection contains images that detail the civic and social history of the Cherokee Garden Club. Included in the collection are photographs of the club's civic projects, flower show arrangements, and needlework. Also a part of the collection are images of club members attending the Garden Club of America Zone VIII meetings and working at fundraising events such as Potlatch and Gardener's Delight. A video and photographs of the Cherokee Garden Library document the early years of the library's development. Of special interest are photographs of the Dolly Blalock Black Memorial Garden at Henrietta Egleston Hospital for Children from its original location on Forrest Avenue (later Ralph McGill Boulevard) in Atlanta.
