More about local history collections

Photograph collections are housed on the third floor of the Downtown Library. The collections contain images of the Chattanooga area dating from the mid-1800's. There are three different collections:

  1. Paul A. Hiener Collection
    Photographs collected by Hiener prior to his death in 1984, and donated in 1985 by his daughter, Minette (Mrs. Earl A.) Millwood. Many of these photographs were used in the 4 volume pictorial work entitled, Chattanooga Yesterday and Today, published from 1951 to 1964. The collection also includes post-1964 images intended for a 5th volume that was never published.
  2. Chattanooga Albums
    Eight scrapbooks containing photos, newspaper clippings, drawings, postcards, and ephemera on Chattanooga dating to 1960. Compiled by E. Y. Chapin, Walter Cline, and Frank F. Stoops of the Chattanooga Half Century Club and donated from 1943-1960.
  3. Local History Department Picture File
    A collection of loose photos arranged by subject from the Civil War era to the present.
