Photo Subject Index
MPHA historical photographs are filed in the MPHA office using the subject headings below. Most of these photographs have been digitized. An online reduced-resolution version of these photos can be accessed through the Photos page. A fuller Explanation of the MPHA Photo Collection as well as the MPHA Photo Policy are availabe on dedicated sub-pages.
The coding used in the index for the online images is as follows: n:xxxx, where n is the Historical Collection number and xxxx is the individual image number. Images in a collection are filed with increasing image numbers.
The online images are actually stored in Google Photos. To view the image for an image number of interest, first go to the Photos page and there select the appropriate Historical Collection ("n" in the code described above). On the Photos page, the images are arranged in the order of individual image numbers. (To display the image number, click on the image itself.)
