- News from the Hess Archives: PA Photos & Docs, a statewide digitization service with more than 250 online collections of photographs and documents related to Pennsylvania, now features the Hess Archives’ Dennis L. Hughes Photographs of the Amish, an extensive collection of images of Amish life from the 1980s to the early 2000s. The photographs, taken by photographer Dennis L. Hughes, serve to document Amish life and culture in the United States, with a special emphasis on the Amish in Lancaster County. In 2014, Hughes donated his entire collection of photographs of Amish daily life — more than 18,000 images, primarily color slides — to the Hess Archives.
