These records are on loan from the Southern Railway Historical Association.

Single photocopies may be made for research purposes for a small fee.  Permission to publish materials from this collection must be obtained from the Director of Library/Archives.

Size: 3 cubic feet

Description: On August 15, 2003, representatives from the Southern Railway Historical Association and the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History signed an agreement to place the association’s archives in the museum.  Part of the massive collection of materials was photographs that had been taken from the 1930s to the 1990s.  Many of the photographs were official pictures taken by the Southern Railway for publicity and for the company magazine Ties.  These photographs were stored in a variety of containers and had been roughly organized into the various states that were served by the Southern Railway.  There was also a collection of negatives although many had been separated from the original photographs.  There is also evidence of a number of filing systems that had been used by the railroad to identify the photographs.  No information has been found relative to this filing system. In addition to the photographs of the Southern Railway there were a number of photographs from individuals that had been organized into binders with headings such as “Steam Locomotives”, “Diesel Locomotives”, “Depots” as well as under individual cities and states.  All the photographs of this collection have been removed from their original storage containers and placed in acid free envelopes.  The original documentation has been retained with the photographs as well as additional information when it has been found.  Every effort has been made to place the negative with the corresponding photograph.  A number of museum volunteers and staff have worked in the organization of this collection.
