Turner Publishing's Historic Photos series presents the history of American cities, states, and regions through archival photography. Each book pairs carefully selected images, many drawn from public and university archives, with captions and narrative history.
The series covers dozens of places, from Historic Photos of Seattle and Historic Photos of San Francisco to Historic Photos of Montana, Historic Photos of Louisiana, and Historic Photos of Appalachia. Mid-century volumes such as Historic Photos of Detroit in the 50s, 60s, and 70s capture more recent change, and themed titles include Historic Photos of Outlaws of the Old West and Historic Photos of the Chicago World's Fair.
These books make lasting gifts for anyone with roots in a place, and a visual record for local historians.
