Album is a database of over 16,000 photographs from 84 collections of the Kenan Research Center at the Atlanta History Center. The images document people, places, and events in Atlanta, and the state of Georgia from 1863 to 1992. The primary content dates between 1930 and 1980. Subjects include politics and elections, the Civil Rights Movement, the New Deal, World War II, sports, entertainment, popular culture, transportation, Atlanta neighborhoods, portraits, rural and coastal Georgia, and aerial views and street scenes of Atlanta.
Researchers may browse, search, select, purchase and download high resolution images from our database to decorate home and office space, or to publish in any form of media desired. Pricing information about images and audio files is available here. Album’s interactive features allow users to submit their own historical images of Atlanta and also provide comments and thoughts about items in the collection. In addition to still photography, Album also features collections of moving images and audio from oral history interviews, home movies, and news reel footage.
The database provides several points of access. Researchers may conduct searches across all collections and formats, or find images from our most popular topics through a series of quick links on the home page. Researchers may explore the database more thoroughly through the Collections tab on the home which provides additional information about specific collections. A more thorough list of search tips can be found here.

Information about the library’s collection, including photographs, manuscripts, moving images, audio, books, and periodicals can be found on Terminus.
