Sixty enlarged photographs were exhibited in the Old Capitol Museum on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Flying School in Jackson. The exhibit of the Dutch at Jackson was arranged by Bette E. Barber, who took the photographs, and was titled In Memoriam Voor Hen Die Vielen.

The correspondence is mostly between Bette E. Barber and the Museum curator, Elbert Hilliard, concerning the plan and layout of this exhibit and the exhibit of Ol' Man River Road photographs.
