Preserving a legacy. Building the infrastructure for the next generation of creators.

A $10,000 donation that preserves a landmark archive.

Founders establish the permanent infrastructure of one of the most significant photographic archives of the 20th century. You're not giving to the past — you're building the infrastructure that makes this history available to the future.

What Founders receive

  • Permanent recognition in the archive's record, alongside the photographs themselves.
  • Private access to the archive, early exhibition previews, and ongoing dialogue with the stewardship team.
  • IRS-compliant acknowledgment of contributions to the 501(c)3.
