MacKenzie Photography
Collection
A recent bequest to the Macon County Public Library came
from the estate of the late Joyce MacKenzie. MacKenzie was an accomplished
photographer and left the library a collection of nearly 4000 original photographs. The collection includes photographs of
animals and birds, architecture, flowers, nature scenes, and people. A special thanks goes to Hollis Walker for his volunteer
work to inventory and organize the collection.
