The Center for Creative Photography is an archive and research center located on the University of Arizona campus. We retain the archives of Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Garry Winogrand, Harry Callahan, and other great 20th-century photographers—over fifty archives in all.
Please note: The CCP's main-floor gallery is closed for the installation of The Edge of Vision: Abstraction and Contemporary Photography until September 4. Wynn Bullock: Color Light Abstractions is currently open to the public in the Permanent Collection Gallery.
A Message From the Director:
The Center for Creative Photography, part of the University Libraries at the University of Arizona, holds more archives and individual works by 20th-century North American photographers than any other archive the world. The archives of over 60 major American photographers—including Ansel Adams, Harry Callahan, W. Eugene Smith, Edward Weston, and Garry Winogrand—form the core of a collection numbering over 80,000 works.
Famed American photographer Ansel Adams co-founded the Center for Creative Photography in 1975. Today, the Center for Photography is the preeminent research archive for study of photography and photographic history in North America.
We are aware of the claims made by Rick Norsigian regarding photographic negatives in his possession. We have no reason to believe that these negatives are, in fact, the work of Ansel Adams, and we support the efforts of the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust to protect its rights in this matter.
Works from the Center's holdings—including pictures by Berenice Abbott, Man Ray, and Paul Strand, among others—are on view in the exhibition Metropolis at the University of Arizona Museum of Art & Archive of Visual Arts, through October 31.
The Center's collections of photographs by Ansel Adams, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Edward Weston, and many other artists are now available on the University of Arizona Institutional Repository.
