Overview

The Hoover Institution Archives’ extensive photographic collections span the early twentieth century onward, documenting war, peace, and revolution, as well as formal and informal views of the people who witnessed and made history. Many photographic materials acquired before 1992 are listed separately in the Hoover Institution Archives Photograph Card Catalog. Items acquired afterward remain integrated within their collection.
