The SLAC Archives, History and Records Office (AHRO) photograph collection is a centralized collection of historical photographs of SLAC people, places and events.

The collection is now somewhat indexed in SALLIE, the Stanford ALL-Image Exchange. (Please note SUNet ID login required for access.) Tip: After login, go to the "ALL - Stanford Community” folder and search for SLAC.

If you need assistance locating an image, if you require a higher resolution image than that available through SALLIE,or if the image you require has not yet been scanned to SALLIE, please contact the SLAC Archives, History & Records Office to make arrangements to obtain your selection.
