Access to the Historical
Photographs
The online Historical Photographs Database provides access to
approximately 15,000 images; this number continues to grow as
more images are scanned to add to the website. A card index in
the Special Collections Department Reading Room, known as
The Historical Photographs Subject Index, provides access to
the entire VPL historical photograph collection of over 87,000
accessioned photographs. Prints of some of the images may
be viewed in the 131 albums of display prints in the public area.
The majority of the images, however, are available for viewing as
negatives only.
