Photographs have been part of the Library’s collections since the early 1850s. Today the Prints and Photographs Division holds approximately 12.5 million photographs, ranging from the earliest days of photography in 1839 to contemporary color art works. Transfers from the Copyright Office (incorporated as a part of the Library of Congress in 1870) and from various federal agencies over the years form the core 19th century holdings of the Prints and Photographs Division. Since the early 20th century, the division has also actively acquired collections by photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Mathew Brady, Clarence White, Gertrude Kasebier, F. Holland Day and Toni Frissell.
