Mims Papers Series 14

Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers

Series 14. Audio/Visual, 1970-1989 [Bulk 1976-1986]. Currently 8 cubic feet.
Contains photographs, negatives, slides, and VHS and other tapes. The slides were removed from their original housing and sleeved and then placed in binders, arranged according to topic. Themes include emergency management (including hurricanes), solid waste, and Alabama waterways, among others. Unidentifiable slides were placed in the last binder. The VSH, cassette, and other tapes were organized according to date, when known, and include a myriad of topics. The photographs are typical for a man in Mims' position. They include photos taken with constitutents and others, and images related to public works, including drainage projects, road improvements, etc. There are also, however, images related to Hurricane Frederick in 1979, as well as photos of the youth council, various dedications, Azalea Trail maids, USS Alabama crew mates, and the Junior Miss and other pagents.
