Prominent in the collection are images of Florida Power and Light Company employees, plants, substations, company events, and damage from hurricanes including the Fort Lauderdale Hurricane of 1947. The collection also includes approximately 25 images showing additional Florida Power and Light activities, an outdoor eating area (possibly managed by Hotpoint, a commercial cooling equipment company owned by General Electric), and what appears to be cooking classes for African-American women.
