AlabamaMosaic

The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library is a proud participant in AlabamaMosaic.

Libraries, universities, and archives from around Alabama have joined in the effort to digitize their photographs, manuscripts, and other documents so that these priceless historical treasures can be preserved and that everyone may have access to them.

As a part of AlabamaMosaic, the Library is digitizing images from a collection of historic Huntsville photographs that are housed in the Library's Archives.
