The museum’s collections include several photographs and negatives related to Uusikaupunki and its population. In addition to individual photographs, the museum's collections also include extensive archives obtained from local photographers.

There is a continuous effort to catalogue and digitise photos. The entire photo collection cannot be accessed online. However, we have already included almost 8000 photos in the Finna service for people to view and use. The information is updated and new material added weekly.
