Collections and Archives
The Center for Creative Photography holds more archives and individual works by 20th-century North American photographers than any other museum in the nation. These holdings include a research collection featuring the archives of over 60 photographers—Ansel Adams, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Richard Avedon, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, W. Eugene Smith, and Edward Weston among them. Archives include photographs, negatives, albums, work prints, manuscripts, audio-visual material, contact sheets, correspondence and memorabilia. CCP’s art collection totals more than 60,000 works by 2,000 photographers. View selections from the collection or lists of archives, photographs, and artists online.

Individuals or groups are invited to view works in the art collection by making an appointment for a PrintViewing, and researchers from all over the world visit the CCP to study the vast archives. CCP shares its collection with museums, educators, and publishers internationally through its Rights and Reproductions Department, with loans to exhibitions organized by other institutions and by offering original traveling exhibitions. Collection photographs and archival materials are on view in CCP exhibitions, are available in CCP publications and are loaned to other institutions.

Resources on Mayan Art and Culture, site by Pam J. Eyerdam, Cleveland State University
http://www.ulib.csuohio.edu/portals/harwood.shtml
On November 2002, noted Cleveland attorney and avid Mayan enthusiast Peter Harwood generously donated his major collection of rare and unusual books on ancient Mayan culture to the main library of Cleveland State University. This unique collection, consisting of more than 650 seminal works, along with nearly 200 unpublished scholarly papers concentrating on Mayan art, archaeology, culture, language, and writing, will dramatically increase and enhance the breadth and depth of the library’s current anthropological holdings.
