Welcome to the J. Earle Bowden image collection!

In early 2013 J. Earle Bowden, editor emeritus and cartoonist of the Pensacola News Journal began donating some of his cartoons to the University of West Florida’s Archives at the John C. Pace Library. A team was formed at the Library to match the cartoons to the related editorial when possible, scan the print cartoons into digital images, assign subject headings to the digital scan to facilitate access, and preserve the originals.

This web site is designed to facilitate the public’s access to Earle’s unique cartoons which help to tell the history of Pensacola and northwest Florida, the rest of the state, and the nation through the images. Earle has donated thousands of cartoons to this project; the digital images of the cartoons will be added to this web site as they are processed and scanned.
