"The Center for Creative Photography is home to one of the largest and most eclectic photographic collections in the world. Original Sources: Art and Archives at the Center for Creative Photography offers the first guide to the Center's extensive holdings including the archives of some of the twentieth century's most important North American photographers.

This publication includes more than fifty essays by thirty-two authors providing scholarly commentary and personal insights on such topics as artists' books, travel albums, photographic movements, special items in the collections, photographers' biographies, and the Center's collections of French, German, Japanese, Mexican, and Spanish photography. Illustrations are drawn from both the photography collection and from extensive holdings of photographers' papers and negatives.

An alphabetic listing of the major photographers in the collection incorporates information about research materials and makes Original Sources the most comprehensive guide to one of photography's unique repositories."--BOOK JACKET.
