The Florida
Photographic Collection:
a nationally recognized component of the Florida State Archives.
Over 143,000 photographs have been scanned and placed on this
web site
The
collection spans a wide range of visual images from copies of
mid 15th Century maps to current photographs. Together, they form
the most complete portrait of Florida available--one that draws
its strength from family photographs, the homes of Floridians,
their work, and their pastimes.
The film
and video tapes in the Florida Photographic Collection
date from 1917 to the 1980s, and have been described by other
film archives
as "unique
in the nation."
Short
clips from fifty of these films have been placed on this web
site. The
films and video tapes selected date from 1916 to the 1980s and
cover a variety of topics including education, environment, family
life, industry, integration, politics, sports, and World War
II.
