Bureau of Public Works Photographic Archives

This page contains links to pages containing pictures digitally extracted from the quarterly bulletins of the Bureau of Public Works during the American colonial era. Although the pictures generally contain documentation of construction projects undertaken by the bureau at the time, they also show glimpses of life in Batangas that must be barely imaginable especially for younger students and researchers in the present day.

The quality of the pictures depend on the quality of the scanned work. Each picture has been carefully processed using photo editing software to improve quality, but suffice it to say that only so much can be done to improve the quality of some of the pictures in the collection.
