The Vanez T. Wilson Photograph Collection consists mainly of two scrapbooks. Scrapbook I consists of family photos of what appears to be the Budge family (the family of Mr. Wilson’s wife) and images from WWI, Utah State University, and Logan Canyon. Included are some Wilson family photos of a vacation to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and gatherings as well as a photo of Vanez with actor Wallace Beery. Also in box 1 are group photos of conferences which Mr. Wilson attended as well as a few miscellaneous photos of Mr. Wilson and his work at the Refuge.

The bulk of Scrapbook II consists of newspaper articles which pertain to the Refuge and/or Mr. Wilson. There are also membership cards of the various organizations to which Mr. Wilson belonged. Towards the back are more images of Mr. Wilson and others at work at the Refuge.
