Hartsfield, to support and commemorate various iterations of the U.S.S. Atlanta, primarily during the early 1940s, through photographic and albumen prints, lithographs, and a postcard. The bulk of the collection contains visual materials (black and white photographs, one lithograph, and one postcard) related to U.S.S. Atlanta, the CL-51 and the CL-104, during World War II, including launch and commission events, operations and servicemen aboard the cruisers. To a lesser extent, the second and fifth vessels are documented through two lithographic prints. The collection does not contain material related to the first vessel.
