Photographs and photo albums document Coxeter’s life from his early years as a child in England through his professional career and life in Canada into the 1990s. Included are several portraits of Coxeter including one painted by his mother when he was as a young child. There is a photo album and several loose photos showing his early family life. There are numerous photos of him and his wife Rien from the early days when they met to their Golden Anniversary in 1996. There are also some of his children Edgar and Susan.

Photographs of Coxeter at lectures, award ceremonies, and professional meetings, as well as shots taken with students and colleagues document his professional life especially his numerous recognitions and honours. There are photos of Coxeter with other mathematicians including Patrick Du Val, Oswald Veblem and John Synge. Of particular note is a rare early image of colleague and mathematician of G.H. Hardy.
