The Ferd Brady Photographs document the Swinomish Indians and the area surrounding their reservation near La Conner, Washington and Coupeville, Washington from 1910 to 1944. Ferd Brady was a local photographer who lived in Everett and then Anacortes, Washington at the time these photographs were taken.

Although the bulk of the collection is photographic, there are a small number of textual materials. They consist of a short biography of Ferd Brady written by Theresa L. Trebon of Continuum History and Research, the original descriptions of the images, and pictures of those who participated in the original identification.

The majority of the images date from 1930s and 1940s. They include images of the 1930 Puget Sound Indian Fair in La Connor and canoe racing at the 1930 Water Carnival in Coupeville. The collection also contains images of a military funeral held at the Swinomish Reservation and photographs of the Washington Egg and Poultry Co-operative processing plant in Oak Harbor. Included is one photograph taken by Theresa L. Trebon.
