In more than 60 years as an active photographer, Michael W. Lemberger took thousands of photographs. He also assembled a vast collection of historic photos dating from glass negatives from the 1890s to the current day.
The Lemberger Collection
The Lemberger Collection includes more than a million images, including historic events, world-wide locations, important people and everyday activities.
The Lemberger Collection has been donated by Mr. Lemberger’s family to the University of Iowa Libraries, Special Collections, where it will be catalogued, digitized, and made available for public use through a Creative Commons copyright license.
Many of the historic images which he took or collected can also be viewed at Fortepan.us, a site which allows the downloading and use of high-resolution images under a Creative Commons copyright license.
