Special Collections

John Williams Negative Scan Project

John H. Williams, a photographer and proprietor of the Art Studio in Brookhaven, Mississippi, spent many years taking pictures of buildings, people, and activities in this community. The majority of photographs and negatives in the collection are from 1946-1970. Included are pictures of local community buildings, schools and school groups, churches and church groups, and weddings. Also included are some early oilfield, logging, and Stahl-Urban pictures. An extensive number of items are portraits of local individuals and family groups. These photographs are an outstanding memory of the citizens of Southwest Mississippi – depicting faces and special moments in their lives.  If you would like to conduct research in the collection, please contact us at libraryinfo@llf.lib.ms.us to schedule access.
