Title
I.A. and Carroll Martin Collection
Description
The Martin collection beautifully illustrates the artistic and historic value of the city and the surrounding area. The collection serves many purposes. Individuals come in looking for photographs of family members or family business places. Many business places also display prints from the collection at their locations. Other business owners search for photographs of their buildings in order to restore them to their original appearance. It is also a great source for people conducting research. Some of the images present are from the Austin Sonnier, Harold Drobb, and Harold Portier Collections.
