Photographic material includes images of the Dionne quintuplets in a religious pageant, at a formal dinner party with members of the clergy, at a graduation ceremony, posing with the entire Dionne family and with Dr. Dafoe, an image of the Olivia Dionne Ice Cream Stand, and an autographed photo of Dr. Dafoe together with a guardianship letter.
