Series III: Photographs, 1912-1988, Undated, divided into subseries, People, Places, Art Work, Animals, Murals, slides, and Negatives.

Materials in this series include original negatives and images; many were taken in secret during Patti's covert mission for the OSS in Vietnam in 1945. In addition, a small group of these photographs were given to Patti by the Vietnamese Communist leader Ho Chi Minh which show his people suffering from a severe famine in the early 1940s. This series also includes photographs given to Patti, and collected or copied from other sources by Patti. Please refer to the included scrapbooks (Series I, box 10) for additional notations and images.
