Hollywood Studio Community Identification

Welcome to the Hollywood Studio community identification initiative!

The "Hollywood Studio for Coloreds" collection is currently housed at the Auburn Avenue Research Library in Atlanta, GA. It has been in AARL's holdings for over 25 years and is currently being processed. The collection is estimated to house around 200,000 images, including both photographs and photonegatives as well as corresponding ephemera, from a portrait studio in Macon, GA. The images in this collection span from c. 1953-1996 and showcase many different aspects of Black life in town, including weddings, holidays, family portraits, graduations, and much more. Our hope is that individuals who are in photos from this collection, or who know pictured individuals, will tag those images to help us identify the subjects of these photos and connect people with their family memories.
