Views captured in photographs reflect Munroe's nautical and family interests. Most are of Coconut Grove; the Barnacle (his home); people (his family, friends, winter tourists, Blacks, and Seminoles); water-oriented places (Miami River, Florida Keys, Bahamas, lighthouses, etc.), and maritime activities on Biscayne Bay (boat-building, his sailboats, wrecking, Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, etc.). A few of the images were taken in the north, most likely Staten Island.
The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings selected by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. These clippings document private and public sector growth and development in the city, and issues that affected the community during that period. The Chamber's role as a catalyst for civic improvement is also documented.
Topics include: the controversy surrounding the legalization of casino gambling, tourism, the proposed north Dade jetport, Interama, the Greater Miami Foreign Free Trade Zone, the role of Afro-Americans and Cuban Americans, race relations and the Miami riot of 1980 following the acquittal of the police officers charged with the murder of Arthur McDuffie.
