It is added to on a continual basis. The collection depicts various Cambridge street scenes, some dating back to the late nineteenth century, as well as buildings that no longer exist. There are photographs from Cambridge city departments like the police, fire, and school departments as well as the city council. Several of the older, mounted photographs are in fragile condition. - Page 3-
