The Heritage Collection Phase VIII: The Collins Family

July 22 – September 3, 2016

The Heritage Collection Phase VIII: The Collins Family

A new addition to Hannibal Square Heritage Center’s permanent collection of documentary photography and oral histories will be celebrated this summer at the opening reception for “The Heritage Collection Phase VIII: The Collins Family” on Friday, July 22, from 7-9 pm. This is the first time that an exhibition as a new phase to the collection has been dedicated to one family’s archive, which is due in part because the patriarch of the family, George Leon Collins Jr., a WWII Army veteran, was an amateur photographer who even maintained his own darkroom in the family’s Hannibal Square home.
