The sub-series contains photographs of Bill Whitehead's family including childhood snapshots of Whitehead and of his mother and various unidentified family members. Among these photographs there is a photograph of Leyton Robinson, Bill Whitehead's maternal uncle in Regina, 1916. This photo is notable because it was used as one of the illustration in the hard- and softcover editions of "The Piano Man's Daughter" by Timothy Findley.

There are also Polaroid photos of Whitehead's family members taken sometime in the 1970s, and a photo taken of Bill Whitehead with Grant Munro and Terry Filgate at the NFB Montreal, Nov. 1988 while preparing a CBC film on the NFB's 50th Anniversary.
