Photographs

Photographic materials held in the San Diego Natural History Museum Research LIbrary include prints, 35 mm slides, lantern slides, glass negatives, and videos, mostly from the time period 1918–1980. A small but significant amount of prints are collated in photograph albums.

Following are titles and brief descriptions of captioned albums. Most of the albums contain black and white prints, with an average of four prints per page. Note that the photo albums constitute only a fraction of the image archives.
