 Collection Overview

The collection contains photographs of thirty six former attorneys general of North Carolina from 1704 to the early 1990s. The photographs were on display in the Attorney General's Office for many years before being place in storage when the agency was moved into the renovated Education Building. The prints have been removed from their frames, and separated from their mats in most cases. The collection contains copy prints, one original painting, and many original photographs (including two cabinet cards from the 1870s and 1880s).

 Arrangement

The prints have been arranged chronologically by years of service of the attorneys general.
