Civil Rights Era Mug Shots

Staff at the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office discovered arrest logs and photographs from the time of the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-56) and the Freedom Rides (1961). Selected pages from those volumes have been scanned by ADAH staff and are available at the links below. For copies of images or for more information about the arrest docket and other photographs contained in it, please contact Montgomery County Archivist Lyn Frazer at 334-832-7173, Fax: 334-832-7716, or via email at Lynfrazer@mc-ala.org.

To view the arrest photo of an individual, first locate his or her name on the log pages. To the left of the name will be a four- or five-digit number which corresponds with that person's photo on one of the photo pages. Note: not all log entries from these pages are represented on the photograph pages.
