The Photographic Records contain valuable information documenting Liberty's activities, events, and individuals through visual images produced for Company & Corporate public relations and publications. Photographs produced for publications include: "Home Office News," "Liberty Legion," "Liberty Leaders," "Liberty LifeNews," and "LINK;" a variety of images depicting public relations sponsored and promoted events; and individual portraits and pictures, including those agents and employees, directors and executives, and members of the Hipp family. Many activities and events are represented in this collection. A few of the prominent categories for these include: agents and employees; athletic events; branch offices; Combination Agency activities; company functions and activities; conferences and conventions; Home Office; individuals, i.e., executives, directors, and other VIPs; monthly sales promotions; regional meetings; sales incentive programs; Scholastic Art; Service Awards; and training. These activities and events are documented under divisions titled: 'Company and Employee Functions,' 'Executives,' 'Hipp family,' 'Home Office News,' 'Individuals,' 'Liberty Legion,' 'Liberty Leaders,' 'Liberty Life News,' and 'Public Relations,' and under format sections titled 'Positives,' 'Negatives,' and 'Oversize.' There is also a Large Oversize section comprising 290 photographs and Separation List for three larger oversize and fifty-five small to oversize graphic arts material. Also included are five videos, depicting company and corporate events and anniversaries. They include 'Backroads' 1986, 'Hugo' 1989, 'Liberty Life 90th Anniversary' 1995 (2), and 'WIS 40th Anniversary' 1993. Of specific interest to those doing research on Liberty Life and/or The Liberty Corporation are the numerous portraits of executives and members of the board of directors. These pictures represent decades of company and corporate leadership, and depict the appearance and bearing of those individuals who shaped the business. Also of interest are similar photographs of Liberty Life's agents and employees from the 1940s to the 1980s. These pictures are more candid than those of the board. Some of these people are: Charles A. Batson, Richard W. Campanaro, Charles E. Daniel, J. K. Davis, Clint E. Edwards, Alester G. Furman, Alester G. Furman Jr., Harris P.
