HMCPL Special Collections is the community's archive.
We empower individuals to seek their past, explore Huntsville and Madison County,
and connect with history.
Browse the Heritage and Rare Book Collections in the library's online catalog.
We are slowly uploading photographs to Special Collections' online inventory. However, there are thousands more photographs available when you visit the Archive. Anyone wishing to do photographic research can contact us or visit during library hours.
