Series 1. Biographical File, 1914-65, 1997 (one folder)
This series consists of copies of items used in constructing the biographical sketch. It includes a copy of a letter from Dorcas Gastier, 1997, and copies of items from the alumni student files of Frank Cooke, his daughter Frances (Mrs. George E. Stansfield), and his wife Clara Helen Paul. It also includes photocopies of pages of the 1914 and 1931-32 Directory of Oberlin, Ohio which bear on Frank Cooke's occupation.
Series 2. Photographs, 1916-22, 1946-63 (one small box; album pages)
This series consists of a box of small, approximately 3.5" x 2.5", photographs taken by Frank Cooke of various subjects around Oberlin. The photographs depict college buildings, residential houses, monuments, and natural settings, however, there are some unidentified photographs in the collection. The inventory contains an incomplete listing of the buildings/scenes depicted in the photographs.
There are also unbound pages of a photographic album included in this series. Many of the photographs were taken at Oberlin Beach along Lake Erie as Cooke's family frequently picnicked there. Most of the photographs were taken by Frank Cooke in 1916-22, but a note identifies the c. 1950 photographs as originating from Helen and Stephen Cool.
