Photograph Collections

The UAB Archives collects photographs to document the history of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and of its predecessor entities.  Photographs from university departments, schools, etc., photographs from administrators, staff, faculty or students, and photographs from private individuals and organizations, those that portray UAB or the history of the health sciences, are collected to augment the university's official pictorial history.  Also preserved are photographs found within series of university records or within manuscript collections; these images are removed from the paper files for preservation purposes.  All photograph collections are assigned a collection identification number, with the letter "P" preceding the number for designation as a collection of photographs.

The following is a list of photograph collections contained in the UAB Archives. A more detailed description of each collection, including series scope and contents, history, and folder-level inventory, is available in the UAB Archives.
