Her collections related to the American West (Pacific Slope) are also processed and available. Later material was added to the collection (Barnes passed away in 1898), but the majority are from the 19th century. The photographs depict people and places from around the world, focusing generally on Europe. They include images of art, architecture, and monuments as well as culture and portraiture. There are also mounted clippings & illustrations, including political cartoons, mostly from 1870s Harper's magazine. The collection also contains a book on education which Barnes annotated.
