The Centenary College of Louisiana photograph negative collection consists of images depicting the college, its faculty and students, campus events, and athletics. Many of the images were published in Centenary’s Yoncopin yearbook and Conglomerate student newspaper in 1951 and 1952.

The titles used in “Series 1: Photographic negatives” reflect titles written on the original envelopes, though some titles have been edited for clarity, and some unidentified images have been titled. Written on a few original envelopes is the name “McClure,” which may indicate the photographer was Herschel McClure, who served as a co-editor of the Conglomerate in 1951 and 1952. A group of images that remain unidentified appear at the end of Series 1. “Series 2: Photograph negative envelopes” consists of the collection's original envelopes.
