This photograph album highlights the facilities and processes of the DuPont Company's synthetic textile fibers manufacturing and research. The album was created between 1945 and 1968 and was intended to assist the company in promoting and advertising the work of the Rayon Department and, later, the Textile Fibers Department. It was last owned within the DuPont Company by the External Affairs Department, which was responsible for advertising and publicity. The External Affairs Department was created on January 1, 1986, meaning that the album was likely created by one of the department's predecessor agencies, probably the Advertising Department.

The photographs in the album are undated but date from around 1946 to 1968. Each photograph is accompanied by text describing the image. The album is divided into seven sections: Nylon, Orlon, Dacron, Acetate, Lycra, Chestnut Run, and All Fibers.

The Nylon section contains twenty-six photographs of plant exteriors and interiors, employees at work, product testing, product development and research, and magnified views of Nylon fibers. It includes photographs taken at DuPont's Seaford Nylon Plant, Martinsville Plant, Spruance Plant, Chattanooga Nylon Plant, and Experimental Station.

The Orlon section contains five photographs showing plant exteriors of the company's May Plant in Camden, South Carolina.

The Dacron section contains nineteen photographs showing plant exteriors and interiors, employees at work, product testing, and magnified views of Dacron fibers. This section also includes a page of photographs and descriptions about Nylon; numbers printed underneath photographs indicate that the pages are in the accurate original order, despite this section being thematically out of order. Facilities depicted include DuPont's Kinston Plant, Old Hickory Plant, and Seaford Nylon Plant.

The Acetate section contains twelve photographs of plant exteriors, interiors, and employees at work at the company's Waynesboro Plant.

The Lycra section contains nine photographs of plant exterior and interiors, employees at work, and product testing at the company's Waynesboro Plant.

The Chestnut Run section contains seventeen photographs of exterior and interior views of the company's Chestnut Run Textile Research Laboratory and images of employees at work there.

The All Fibers section contains fifteen photographs of unspecified or varied synthetic fiber products. It includes images of plant exteriors and interiors, employees at work, product testing, production processes, and magnified views of man-made fibers. The facilities depicted include the Experimental Station, Old Hickory Plant, and Spruance Plant.
