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. In 2013 the Photo Archives was moved from the Library in the Administrative building to the Archives in the Easton Collection Center. In December 2013, extensive conservation work was begun on sections of the Photo Archives with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Conservation care has continued with funding from a variety of sources like the NEH, Southwest Foundation, and the Arizona Historical Records Advisory Board.

James Burns Photo Archivist 1996 Tony Marinella Photo Archivist Scope and Content: The Photo Archives contains silver gelatin prints, 35 mm slides (color and black and white), and acetate negatives. Subject covers the Colorado Plateau and the various research areas of the Museum of Northern Arizona. The Crafts and Arts section contains photos of art objects, painting, etc. except Native American arts which are placed under individual tribe in Ethnology. This section also includes Craftsmen Shows at MNA.. System of Arrangement: The Photo Archives is divided into series and then into multiple subseries. The categories created for the Crafts and Arts Section are listed below. Please understand that not all categories have prints. Whether images were assigned to a particular category depended on whether or not an MNA researcher worked or researched in those areas. Over time, various sub-series have gone through partial rearranging with the result that researchers looking for information, especially on the Craftsman Shows (Heritage Festivals), may need to look in multiple sub-series to make sure that they have located all pertinent prints. Please use the print identifiers listed in the individual series descriptions when making research requests.
