Prints & Photographs Department
The Prints and Photographs Department holds more than 200,000 graphic images, including photographs, slides, postcards, broadsides, prints, negatives, and maps. These items date from the mid-1600s to the present and feature many unique items such as illustrated newspapers, drawings, sketches, daguerreotypes, tintypes, stereograph cards, and glass plate negatives.
Thank you for contacting the Prints and Photographs Department:
The Moorland-Spingarn Research Center is committed to providing exemplary customer service across all divisions. This requires adequate staffing and the implementation of best practices according to industry standard. As such, the center has temporarily suspended public service in the Prints and Photographs Department. It is anticipated that service will be reinstated by the end of the 2025 spring semester.
Permissions requests that were received on or before 8/20/24 will be processed to completion.
Please consult the P&P dropdown on the MSRC website for any updates regarding the reinstatement of services.
We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to working with you soon.
