Photographs
The MVZ Archives include over 15,000 black-and-white and color prints, film and glass negatives, lantern slides, 2×2 color slides, and modern digital images. Many of these photos date from the late 1800s to early-mid 1900s. Like the field notes, these images document species’ presence, research activities, and changing environmental conditions over the past 100 years. Photos continue to be an important component of new MVZ accessions.
