	Biographical/Historical:	John Buckley (1945-2008) was born in Newport, Rhode Island, and moved to Panama City, Florida, in the early 1950s. After graduating from Bay High School in 1962, Buckley spent a year at the University of Florida and joined the Liberal Forum, a campus youth group that sparked his interest in the student protest movement. He attended Florida State University from 1963 until 1967; while there, a classmate introduced him to photography and he became deeply involved in political and social movements. Buckley photographed the protests he attended, particularly civil rights, anti-war, and antinuclear demonstrations. He also helped organize workers' strikes and women's rights demonstrations. Alongside his career as a physics and chemistry teacher at Shanks High School in Quincy, Buckley co-owned Delmar Studio Photography in Tallahassee, later working for the Department of Children and Families until his retirement.
	Summary:	This collection consists of 35mm black-and-white negatives, 35mm slides, and 8"x10" prints taken by John Buckley documenting demonstrations in and around Florida as well as in Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, Georgia. There are also photographs from the 1972 Florida Democratic Convention in Miami, images from the Florida Folk Festival, and commercial portraits.
