Who ARE these people? We want to know.

Prime is teaming up with the Alabama Department of Archives and History to present a different group of photographs each month in an effort to identify the individuals depicted. The photos are from the collections of three Montgomery-based photographers active in the mid-twentieth century, Horace Perry, John E. Scott, and Jim Peppler.
In addition to identifying individuals, Archives is interested in any other details about the images, including corrections to the descriptions. If you have information about these photographs contact Meredith McDonough, meredith.mcdonough@archives.alabama.gov, or call 334-353-5442. You can also e-mail Prime at primemontgomery@gmail.com.
(Literally as the website was being updated, Prime Editor Sandra Polizos, using various Social Media sites, had identified many of the people in the Valentine’s Day Event photo below.)
