Biographical/Historical: |
The Florida Photographic Collection was established in 1952 by Allen Morris, a political columnist and compiler of The Florida Handbook. Realizing that the visual documentation of Florida's history was being lost to neglect and destruction, Morris initiated steps to prevent further loss. With the assistance of Dr. Doak Campbell, President of Florida State University, Morris began to assemble photographs of Florida people and places. The collection became part of the library on the F.S.U. campus, housed first in Dodd Hall and later in R.M. Strozier Library. In 1982 the collection became part of the Florida State Archives and was moved to the Archives facility in the R.A. Gray Building, where it continues to expand in size and scope.
Some of the images for which Dr. Morris first searched were political. Because of his longtime interest in Florida history, the three branches of government, and the reporters and columnists who covered them, he began to track down and collect the images that formed the basis of this series.
