It contained over 500 mostly Navy & USMC press and personal photos spanning from Pearl Harbor through the Korean War. A number of these photos appear to have never been published. During World War II Marion Fischer worked with the Emergency Aid of Pennsylvania. On her own, she started a project to provide kits for Marines. She wrote to her friends as well as celebrities to appeal for money for these kits that held toilet articles, writing paper, and a picture frame. Once the war ended, Mrs. Fischer found herself with the beginnings of a collection of letters from military officials. She again started writing letters to Marine Corps officers asking for items she could add to her collection. She mainly received photographs and biographical notes. Later, she was able to obtain war souvenirs. She displayed this collection in her home and opened it up to Marines wanting to view the holdings. Much of her collection is now part of the USMC archives referenced as Coll/858. Other parts of it, such as this photo collection, were sold by her estate. Many of the photos in this collection were sent in to her by an incredible list of high ranking personnel including fleet Admiral Nimitz, Rear Admiral James Fife, and scores of others.
