Biographical/Historical:     The Jacksonville Journal was a weekday afternoon newspaper in the Jacksonville, Florida area. It began publication in 1887 and ceased publication in 1988 after a century of competition with its sister newspaper the Florida Times-Union. When the Journal merged with the Florida Times-Union, what remained of the Journal's photo morgue (1951-1959) went to the Florida Photographic Collection.
Summary:     This collection consists of about 25,000 acetate negatives taken for the Jacksonville Journal in the 1950s.
