The bulk of the Photographs series are personal photographs taken by friends and family, spanning Pierce's life from early childhood, his years as a performer, to his retirement. The series also include performance publicity stills taken from his many performances from early stage roles through his well-known performances as a female impressionist. The performance photographs document his roles at the Pasadena Playhouse, his female impressionist shows, and his appearances on the stage, screen, and television. The photographs also document his friendships with other celebrities and his travels across the United States and abroad. The subseries are not entirely inclusive with some performance photographs included in the last three subseries Celebrity, Personal, and Photograph Albums. Each of the subseries contains folders of photographs transferred from small albums to archival photograph pages.
