The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona has acquired the archives of nine photographers: Laura Aguilar, Jack Dykinga, Jody Forster, Frank Gohlke, Mark Klett, Nathan Lyons, Stephen Marc, Patrick Nagatani, and Susan Wood. The collections include photographic prints as well as supporting materials like correspondence, notebooks, and working proofs that document the artists' creative processes.
This major acquisition significantly expands the CCP's research holdings, joining its existing archives of figures like Ansel Adams. The institution emphasizes its role as a resource created by artists for artists, with the new materials supporting interdisciplinary study across fields from journalism to environmental science. The archives' preservation in a specialized cold-storage facility ensures their longevity for future scholarship.
