Description from the Michigan State Capitol:
The Michigan Capitol has been photographed since its inception, from construction through the 144 years since Dedication Day. Join us for an illustrated walk through the history of photographic formats, from early plate photos into the 20th century’s modern gelatin prints, including rare views of early Lansing. Enjoy a look at our photo collection, including views of the restoration, events like rallies and inaugurations, press photographs, visitors’ snapshots, panoramas, portraits, and more! Plus, learn how your photos can become a piece of the Capitol’s photographic record.
