This collection includes an extensive set of photographs and images curated by Paul Perone, documenting faculty and staff portraits, student life, institutional events, and community engagements. The images depict academic programs, ceremonies, performances, conferences, and outreach campaigns from Broward College's campuses between 1989 and 2002. Several boxes contain themed images—such as Bailey Hall performances, Downtown Campus development, and events like Chili Cookoffs, Student Life awards, and film festivals. Earlier and undated photos also include staff portraits and marketing sessions. Some missing boxes noted in the original inventory (Boxes 1, 4, 5, 8, and 12) were never transferred to the archives.

These photographs were taken by the Recce Unit of the British 2nd Army. This unit was part of a reconnaissance unit which participated in the liberation of Nazi camps in April, 1945. Charged with the photography of the camps, these photographs were taken at Bergen-Belsen. Though no credits are given, a majority of the photos were likely taken by Harry Oakes and Bill Lawrie, both assigned to the 2nd Army to document British movement in World War II. Several photographs show Heinrich Himmler just after he committed suicide on May 24, 1945 in Lindeburg, Germany.
