The Leonard “Len” Vaughn-Lahman Photograph Collection includes photographs taken by Vaughn-Lahman throughout his career as a photojournalist. The collection contains materials primarily from his career with the San Jose Mercury 新闻, where he worked for nearly thirty years, but also includes some of his work as a student and freelance projects. Vaughn-Lahman photographed numerous subjects, but assignments related to the environment, 移民, 硅谷, and the wars in 阿富汗 and Iraq after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks predominate.

The majority of the collection includes analog photo formats such as negatives, 幻灯片, 并打印, but there is some born-digital work as Vaughn-Lahman and the San Jose Mercury 新闻 transitioned to digital photography in the early 2000s.
