Research Center

The Research Center provides access to a non-circulating collection of archives, photographic materials, and artifacts such as negatives, albums, work prints, manuscripts, audiovisual material, contact sheets, correspondence, and memorabilia relevant to the history of 20th-century photography. These holdings include the archives of more than 50 20th-century photographers. Online finding aids (link) for some of the archives are available.

To learn more about the archives, explore the Research Collection section of this website.

Researchers must arrange a specific appointment with Research Center staff well in advance of an intended visit. Archivists can answer some research questions about the CCP archives via email or fax; depending on the question, it could take a few weeks to receive a full answer.
