Archive photography refers to the collection of historical photographs that document events, objects, and people of the past. These photographs are preserved in archives and libraries to serve as primary sources for researchers, historians, and scholars.
Archive photography can include a wide range of subjects, such as landscapes, architecture, industry, technology, fashion, and portraiture. The photographs can be black and white, sepia-toned, or color, and can be printed on a variety of materials, including paper, glass, or metal.
The main goal of archive photography is to preserve and document history for future generations. Archivists carefully store and maintain these photographs to ensure their longevity, and many institutions are digitizing their archives to make them accessible to a wider audience.
Some well-known archives include the Library of Congress, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the Getty Images archives. Many museums, universities, and cultural institutions also have their own photography archives.
