Pete Calos Photograph Collection, 1977-2005

The Pete Calos Photograph Collection is comprised of film duplicates of his original 35mm Ecktachrome color slides, and digital scans of original prints stored on compact discs. The images document architectural, environmental, commercial, and popular culture subjects in Virginia between 1977 and 2005. Images were selected, researched, and recorded by amateur photographer, Pete Calos for the purpose of illustrating over sixty slide lecture presentations. The collection holds significant interest for local and architectural historians. These images capture a moment in time, and in many cases represent the only visual document of historical buildings, streets and structures that have significantly changed or are no longer in existence. The collection is organized according to his original order in nine series which derive from his presentations: Bridges, Churches of Petersburg, Colonial Churches, Diners, Historic Churches, Lighthouses, Route One, Small Town U.S.A., W.P.A. Murals and the CD-Rom format series of mixed subjects.

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.
