The first part of the collection includes photographs of Clayton Mark, a pioneer in the steel industry, and his descendants. Clayton Mark founded the Mark Manufacturing Company, the Clayton Mark & Company, and Marktown, the urban planned worker community in East Chicago designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw. The rest of the collection contains photographs taken by Stephen Mark, grandson of Clayton Mark, in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland region. The images include those of citizen activists instrumental in preserving tracts of land that received national park status in 2019 (Indiana Dunes National Park). They also include photographs of President Harry S. Truman, Indiana Representative Charles Halleck, and other public figures, as well as images of the daily life and social gatherings of the communities (e.g., Ogden Dunes, Portage, Gary, Chicago, Chesterton, Valparaiso, East Chicago, Marktown, Evanston, and Lake Forest).
