The Eugene Provenzo Collection contains a manuscript by Provenzo and William E. Brown, titled "From Ice to Snow to Flowers and Fruit: Jesse Wooley's 1896 Tour of Florida." The manuscript by Provenzo and Brown aimed to reproduce Wooley's lantern-slide lecture with the original lecture notes, as well as provide a historical analysis of lantern slide lectures and a biographical essay on Jesse Wooley. Jesse Wooley was a professional photographer from New York who visited Florida in 1896. Wooley used his trip to create a stereopticon or lantern-slide lecture about Florida, and several of these lantern slides were colored. The collection also contains correspondence regarding the manuscript, duplicate pages of the manuscript, research documents and notebooks, photographs and photographic slides taken of the surviving lantern slides, clippings, articles, and other documents.
Furthermore, the collection includes oral histories stored within CD-Rs, microcassettes, and audiocassettes, originally recorded for the "Voices of Andrew" website. This website provided an online archive of 66 oral history interviews with people who lived through Hurricane Andrew and experienced the subsequent recovery process in the first months after the storm.
