Most of the photographs (mostly black-and-white gelatin prints) held by the Astronomy Library depict the history of the Yale Department of Astronomy and are interesting for historical images of Yale telescopes, camera catalogues, meteorgraphs, and Yale astronomy faculty. In addition, the Department of Astronomy has a very large collection of glass plate negatives. Materials may also be available at other Yale repositories.
