The library manages a photographic archive comprising over 6000 entries (prints, slides, glass plate negatives, glass plate slides, albums, and other materials associated with early photography).
The collection's core consists of pictures taken during research projects conducted by Hans Peter L’Orange, Hjalmar Torp, and Ejnar Dyggve.
A consistent series of documentation comes from the investigations at the Tempietto Longobardo di Cividale del Friuli, from the on-field projects held in Thessaloniki initiated by Ejnar Dyggve in 1939 and carried on in collaboration with Hjalmar Torp in 1953, and from the survey of High Medieval Mediterranean sculpture started by H.P. L’Orange in 1937, interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War.
