Photography Collections

The holdings of the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery Special Collections contain more than 2.5 million images documenting the development of photography from daguerreotypes to digital imaging.  We have digitized some of these collections to make them more easily accessible to researchers.   Digitized collections include some that have influenced public thought or legislation such as the 5,400 photographs of child labor made by Lewis Hine and the mining photographs (1870-1895) by George Bretz.
