The photographic document, whether it was made one hundred years ago or last week, conveys important, often unique information, not only about a specific location, event or person, but also about the culture that fashioned it.
Numbering more than 22 million items, the collection includes daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes and other unique photographic objects. The bulk of the collections are black and white and colour negatives on paper, glass, celluloid and plastic bases. Photographic positives include single prints, photographic albums, contact sheets and transparencies, books with original photographs, and photographic postcards.
