Gallery

This gallery shows representative examples of images from 6 photographic collections belonging to The Doy Leale McCall Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The Overbey collection dates from 1880 to 1958. Images in the McNeely collection were taken in the 1930s and 1940s. All of the images in the Armitstead collection were taken in 1895. The ADDSCO Collection is strong for the years of World War II. Finally, the photographs in the "Other Gallery" are thematic, covering subjects like theaters, recreation, and Mardi Gras.

We can make reproductions of all of our images. Consult our photo services page for more information. Please read this if you are thinking of downloading images from this site.

Although it is impossible for us to display all the negatives in these 6 collections, or the other photographic collections we hold, we are happy to offer you this glimpse. Please see below for a link to ordering information.
