    Title: Museum of Northern Arizona Photo Archives – Crafts and Arts Prints Dates: 1930s-1990s Extent: 2802 images Name of Creator(s): Museum of Northern Arizona staff including Leland Abel, John Adair, E. Capps, Harold S. Colton, S. Cooper, Robert Fronske, Marc Gaede, Parker Hamilton, Lyndon L. Hargrave, Neil Judd, A.J. "Lex" Lindsay, P. Long, M. Middleton, T. Nichols, L. W. Smith, C. Turner, W.M. Wells, and Barton Wright. Organizational History: In 1959, the Photography Department and position of Photographer created by director Dr. E. B. Danson, with Parker Hamilton as MNA’s first Assistant in Photography, later that year promoted to Photographer. Prior to 1959, the photo archives were a part of the Publications Department but not under the management of a photographer. In 1960, a large-scale cataloging initiative of new and old prints, negatives, and slides was undertaken. A photography studio and cataloging room was established in Fleischman Hall (now Schaeffer) in 1965. An inventory was made of negatives in June 1969 which noted missing negatives. By the early 1980s the Photography Department became the Photo Archives, reflecting a shift in focus from active photography to preservation of and access to existing materials. An inventory of negatives was done again in February 1988 with notes made of missing negatives. The Photo Archives moved to the Library in 1995. In 2005, the Photo Archives ceased operation as a department, and staff photography became the responsibility of the Marketing Department while the care of materials and use requests were the responsibility of the Library staff. The Photo Archives were made the responsibility of the Archivist in 2008.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE P U Blished Bi-Monthly by the St Ate Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE P u blished bi-monthly by The St ate Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XXIV De nve r, Colorado, May, 1947 No. 3 Brinton Terr ace EnaAR C. McMECHEN Sixty-five years ago the Queen Anne facade of Brinton Tenace, extending from the alley in the rear of Trinity Metho­ dist Church to the corner of East Eighteenth Avenue and Lincoln Street, al'ose as an architectural landmark in Denver. To Oscar Wilde has been attributed many times the remark, "Brinton 'l'errace is the only artistic building in Denver"; a saying that might easily have been true in the early eighties. Today, Brinton Terrace is dwarfed by the large hotel struc­ tures nearby; yet, in its romantic and colorful background, this shrine of Denver's cultural growth to"·ers high above most other buildings on the city's historical sky line-one of those "memor­ ials and things of fame that do renmYn our city.'' Brinton Terrace is one of the few historl.cally important buildings still standing in Denver. Sturdy and staunch, the archi­ tectural character of the building has never been altered by the mvners. · Today, as it has been for the last forty years, the Terrace is still a studio retreat for the Muses. Often called "Denver's Greenwich Village,'' the quaint, gabled roof has sheltered the city's only true Bohemian Center. \Vhen asked who have lived there many residents may say: "Oh, almost everybody who ever amounted to anything." While this is obvious hyperbole, it is trne that, had Brinton Terrace been located on the Atlantic seaboard, where historical traditions are considered irnpol'tant, the building might now .bea;' some bronze memorial plaques.

  • List of Exhibitions Held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art from 1897 to 2014
    National Gallery of Art, Washington February 14, 2018 Corcoran Gallery of Art Exhibition List 1897 – 2014 The National Gallery of Art assumed stewardship of a world-renowned collection of paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, prints, drawings, and photographs with the closing of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in late 2014. Many works from the Corcoran’s collection featured prominently in exhibitions held at that museum over its long history. To facilitate research on those and other objects included in Corcoran exhibitions, following is a list of all special exhibitions held at the Corcoran from 1897 until its closing in 2014. Exhibitions for which a catalog was produced are noted. Many catalogs may be found in the National Gallery of Art Library (nga.gov/research/library.html), the libraries at the George Washington University (library.gwu.edu/), or in the Corcoran Archives, now housed at the George Washington University (library.gwu.edu/scrc/corcoran-archives). Other materials documenting many of these exhibitions are also housed in the Corcoran Archives. Exhibition of Tapestries Belonging to Mr. Charles M. Ffoulke, of Washington, DC December 14, 1897 A catalog of the exhibition was produced. AIA Loan Exhibition April 11–28, 1898 A catalog of the exhibition was produced.

  • International Print Collectors' Societies Newsletter
    Hello Print Collectors, I amInternational Print Collectors’ Societies Newsletter Vol. VII, No. 1 January 2012 Hello Print Collectors, The biggest announcement this month is that we have a new society joining our ranks. The Rocky Mountain Print Collectors began hosting events just a few months ago. Please check out their submission on page 9 of this issue. I recently had an epiphany as to how useful this newsletter can be. During discussions in a strategic planning meeting for the Print Society of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, I noticed that I was relating many ideas that I had read about in this publication. Our Print Society is not as old or as large as most of the other societies, and it is helpful for us to draw on the ideas and experiences of more established clubs and societies. In future submissions to the Newsletter, I challenge each of us to not only report our events but to also share various strategies and tactics which have been successful (or particularly disastrous). I am still looking for someone to replace me as editor of the IPCS Newsletter. It is not a terribly difficult task, but it is an investment of time. If you or someone you know would like to take over the editorship for 2 years (4 issues), please contact me as soon as possible so that we can make a smooth transition. May the coming spring find great things for all of you and your societies! Keeping Print Enthusiasts in Contact and Serving the Print Community Around the World IPCS Newsletter, January 2012 2 DATELINE: Cleveland by Carole Rosenblatt The Print Club of Cleveland Grass does not grow under the feet of Cleveland Print Club members; Program Chair Lorrie Magid does not allow it.

  • International Print Collectors' Societies Newsletter from the Editor Index
    International Print Collectors’ Societies Newsletter Vol. XI, No. 2 July 2014 From the Editor My two-year mandate as IPCS Newsletter Editor draws to a close with this issue of the IPCS Newsletter. It has been a wonderful stint, witnessing the growth of our Society and welcoming the input of our member organizations. The importance of keeping connected is stronger than ever as we share our passion for prints. I will still be in touch through my MPCS column. I am happy to announce that Kimberly Brandt Henrikson of The Print Club of New York will be editing the IPCS Newsletter as of the January 2015 issue. Gillian Greenhill Hannum will continue to write the New York column. Kim is the New York club’s website editor, member of their Artists Showcase artist selection committee, and member of the club’s board of directors. She currently lives in New Canaan, CT and runs an art advisory business in Connecticut while working toward completing her Master’s thesis on Claes Oldenburg through Hunter College. We can all look forward to continued growth and development under Kim’s guidance. A more immediate change is that Sharon Milligan, Ph.D., whose day job is Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Associate Professor at the Jack, Joseph and Index Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, as well as Associate Director, Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development at Case Western Reserve University, takes over The Print Club of Cleveland column for Carole Rosenblatt.
