From January 9 to February 28, 2020, we are hosting the exhibition Underwater Innovations: The Florida Springs Photography of Bruce Mozert.

The exhibit will feature underwater photographs taken by Mozert at Silver Springs during the 1950s while he was employed there.

The State Archives of Florida accessioned the Bruce Mozert Collection (N2018-20) in 2018. The collection contains approximately 25,000 negatives, thousands of prints and hundreds of films. A selection of Mozert’s photographs have been digitized and made available on Florida Memory.

Opening reception is January 9, 2020, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The Friends of the State Library and Archives of Florida will provide light refreshments.
