A portion of this collection are negatives taken for the Green Bay Press-Gazette from the late 1940s to the early 1980s. The collection also includes over 100,000 prints and cased images. There are also special collections of works by local photographers, like Otto Stiller.

Substrate Size vs Image Size
Many images do not have the same proportions as the listed, standard, paper, canvas, and metal sizes. Images will be printed close to the size ordered. Images will not be cropped to fit the listed substrate sizes. For example, if an image is square and an 11x14 size is ordered, there will be visible margin where the substrate will be visible.
