The Hugh Morton Collection of Photographs and Films (Collection P081, North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives, Wilson Library) is in the process of being organized into nine series by photographic subject. A preliminary archival Finding Aid to the collection is now available online.
Note that only certain series and formats in the collection are currently available for research. The remaining materials will be added to the finding aid and opened for research as they are completed. Watch this blog for updates and announcements!
In addition, a digital collection of selected Hugh Morton images is available on the Library’s website. Here you may search, browse, and view in great detail thousands of Morton photos. We’re adding more all the time, so check back often.
