The Regina Andrews Photograph Collection documents her personal life, professional career, and civic activities. Personal photographs include family, friends, and acquaintances. The bulk of personal photographs are from Regina and Williams Andrews' later years. Family photographs document both Regina's and William's family histories (Simons, Andersons, and Andrews families). Photographs of friends and acquaintances document social engagements. Images of friends and acquaintances include portraits and snapshots of individuals active in the intellectual circles of the Harlem Renaissance, including group portraits of Andrews, Ethel Ray Nance, Langston Hughes, Helen Lanning, Pearl Fisher, Rudolph Fisher, Luella Tucker, Clarissa Scott, Esther Popel Shaw, Hubert T. Delany, Jessie Fauset, Charles S. Johnson, Marie Johnson and E. Franklin Frazier at a party for Hughes held at the 580 St. Nicholas Ave., Harlem, home of Andrews and roommate Nance in 1924. Personal photographs also contain William T. Andrews' Reveille Club Anniversary Photograph Album (1932-1982) with portraits and biographical information of Club members.
