Administrative History

This series contains materials created by the Photography Unit within the Department of Health. The Photography Unit was established in approximately 1948 to provide photographic resources for publications, exhibits, training aids, news releases, annual reports, and health training presentations. In 1975, the Photography Unit merged with the Public Health Education Unit which was later replaced by the Heath Education and Promotion Services Group within the Office of Public Health in 1977. In 1986, public health promotion activities were moved to the Public Affairs Group within the Bureau of Communications Production Services in the Department of Health's Executive Division.
