The Midland Historical Society manages the Midland County History Museum Archives which includes over 3000 photographs documenting the history of Midland County and the surrounding area. No other organization has a collection devoted to this specific region and many of these are the only known copies of these images. The collection includes photographs of early ranching and farming life in the area, images of the city of Midland from the late 1800s to recent times (street scenes, various businesses, interior shots of businesses, etc.), and photographs of many individuals who played a role in Midland history. Included in the collection are several photographs taken by E. E. Hoyt, who operated a studio in Midland around 1900. The collection also includes original brochures advertising Midland in the early 1900s as well as early day fair and rodeo programs.
