The Visual Materials series (4.6 linear ft., one outsize photo album, and one outsize folder) includes both individual black and white photographic prints and photograph albums documenting the annual camp sessions. An annual group photograph was taken each year of student, faculty, and camp staff, and most years from 1929 to 1987 can be found here. Less formal photographs of activities and camp scenes were mounted in photograph albums for the years 1929 to 1964.

It is arranged first by subject and then chronologically. The bulk of the series relates to life at Camp Filibert Roth. It is divided into several subseries: negatives, photographs, scrapbooks and slides. The negatives and photographs subseries contain images primarily from Camp Filibert Roth from 1935 to 1985. Some images are related to the School of Natural Resources and the Alumni Association from the 1950s to the 1970s. There is also some undated material. There is some overlap between the two subseries; however not all negatives have prints and not all prints have negatives. The scrapbook subseries contains beautifully laid out books of camp photos from 1932 to 1973. The majority of the slides were taken during the Midwest Conclaves in various years. A separate box of slides was left just as Carrow had organized them and contains images of logging operations, camp life, people and trips.
