Images in the Military and Historical Image Bank


The Military & Historical Artifact Archive
The Military & Historical Artifact Archive consists of over 8000 fresh stock photographs of rare original military and historical artifacts from the 1500-1945 periods with emphasis on the wars and history of the United States. We have also have items related to world history in general and many unique, never before published and unobtainable anywhere else. New items are added on a daily basis from major private and public collections. If there is something you need that is not on this site, please ask, and we will try to find it for you!

For an additional modest fee we can also provide expert short captions with interesting historical detail for many items. We also offer personal expert historical consultation and advice regarding your needs. We are happy to help you select the images most appropriate to your project. We also do historical consulting work for films (credits include the Oscar nominated feature film "Cold Mountain" A&E and History Channel projects). All of the images you are viewing on this site are very low resolution (72dpi) and do not reflect the clarity of the actual images. We have digital files (at most any resolution you require) which can be sent electronically or on a CD. We also have high quality 35 mm (or larger) color transparencies of many images.
