Our history in pictures
Posted on February 28, 2015 by bob in ALHistory
Prime is partnering with the Alabama Department of Archives and History to present a group of photographs each month to help identify the individuals depicted. Most of the photos are from the collections of Montgomery-based photographers Horace Perry, John E. Scott, and Jim Peppler. In addition to identifying individuals, Archives is interested in 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 at 334-353-5442. You can also e-mail Prime at primemontgomery@gmail.com.
