Michael Miley photographic print collection

49 Linear Feet

This collection consists of thousands of contemporary photographs printed from Lexington, Virginia photographer Michael Miley's original glass plate negatives. The glass plate negatives were purchased from Henry Miley, Michael's son, in the 1930s by the Virginia Historical Society of Richmond now the Virginia Museum of History and Culture (V.M.H.C.). The project to create archival photograph prints from the collection was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities in the 1990s. The archival prints were made at Washington and Lee University. The images include both studio portraits and outdoor views of people and places in and around Lexington and Rockbridge County, Virginia. A majority of the studio portraits include surnames of the sitters. The original glass plates are stored at the V.M.H.C.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
