AOS Slide Collection

Over the last thirty years, the Alabama Ornithological Society (AOS) has assembled a series of slides of birds found in Alabama and Northwest Florida. The AOS and the AOS Slide Collection Committee wish to make the best of these slides available for purchase or loan to individuals, educational institutions and conservation organizations, solely for scientific and educational purposes.

All species represented in this collection have been verified either in Alabama or Northwest Florida. Many of them, due to vagaries of migration, breadth of range and other factors, are also found in other parts of the continent. So that the absolute best slide of a particular species may be used, the photo itself may have been taken outside the Alabma/Northwest Florida area. We hope that these slides will help satisfy your needs for educational programs or classes on the birds of your area or for other projects.

A catalog is available in electronic format of all sides available in the collection.  Click here to download the catalog.  Or, you may request a catalog by mail from the slide curator.  To request further information about the AOS Slide Collection, or to place an order, contact the AOS Slide Curator:

Since most of these slides were taken for the specific purpose of obtaining photographs of birds found in the AOS area and since duplicates will not be mass produced, the slides are being offered at a purchase price of $2.00 per slide, plus $3.00 postage for up to 50 slides. Additional postage will be charged for orders of more than 50 slides.

Slide Loans (AOS members only)

AOS members may "loan" slides through the AOS slide loan program for short-term use. Slide loans by AOS members will be subject to paying for shipping expenses only.  The exception to this fee is the use of slides for AOS functions.  No fees will be charged for use of these slides at any AOS related function.   Please contact the AOS Slide Curator for more information about loaning slides or for obtaining slides for AOS functions.

Volunteer your slides for use in the collection

Slides contained in this collection are received from AOS members on a voluntary basis.  No compensation is provided to the photographer, and all slides in the collection become the property of AOS for the purpose of providing an educational resource of the birds in our area.  If you would like to submit your slides for use in the collection, or if you would like further information about submitting slides to the collection, please contact the slide curator, Tom Haggerty (tmhaggerty@una.edu).

We appreciate your interest in these slides and in the bird life of our area!
