The Wrangell Photo archives contain over 3,000 prints, negatives and slides of Wrangell. The earliest photos available are of Wrangell during the gold rush period - in the late 1800's. Themes include early gold-rush era, Native Alaskans, Front Street, Boats, Schools, and general. Prints of photos can be purchased through the Museum Gift Shop. One-time use permission is available to scholars and other researchers who wish to publish photos.
Fees are available on request.
