An account of the resource
The Hempstead Photographs collection contains original photographs that range from c.1900s-c.1960, and facsimiles that span from c.1880s-c.1930s.

Included among these businesses are banks, clothing stores, hardware shops, hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets.
The collection also includes photographs of various buildings, including churches, libraries, municipal buildings, private homes, schools, and theaters, along with events such as fire department parades and World War I military funerals.
The items in this online collection provide public access to a visual record of Hempstead and its rich history. Original copies of the items in this collection can be viewed at Hofstra University, Special Collections.
