Over 500 photographs and 114 newsletters from the Society of Invertebrate Pathology records have been added to UMBC's Digital Collections. The photographs date from the 1950s and include photographs of prominent pathologists and biological sciences researchers that were involved with the invertebrate pathology community. Photographs from conferences, laboratories, research trips, and social engagements are included. These images were provided to the Society for use in publication and promotion; provenance and the name of the photographer are unclear.

The SIP newsletters date from 1967 to 1999; issues through 2012 are available for use in Special Collections along with the rest of the SIP records.
