The Twentieth Century produced many brilliant photographers whose work is only now being appreciated. These photographers documented the culture, landscape, economy and history of their place and time. Many spent a lifetime teaching the fundamentals of photography to others. While a few photographers have attained fame and fortune, the works of many others remain unknown. Significant work of important photographers continues to be lost because they or their heirs are forced to dispose of the material quickly without regard for its historic, esthetic or economic value. It is our goal to: Preserve the significant work of career photographers. Services to Photographers and Their Families - FfPP offers creative solutions for individuals who wish to find an appropriate archive for their work. We offer a range of options including a website and intermediary and advocacy services, along with curatorial guidance to prepare collections for donation. We can help locate suitable institutions to house photographic collections. Services to Curators and Institutions - FfPP serves as a nonaligned intermediary between archives and donors. We serve as an advocate for the body of work. We are able to identify, reach out and contact those whose work may be in jeopardy. We can assist institutions in building their photographic collections.
Our organization is actively engaged in identifying photographic collections that might be lost for the education and enjoyment of future generations. If you have information about a photographic collection in jeopardy, or if you are an institution or a collector interested in acquiring a photographic collection, please contact us.
You can help us preserve our photographic heritage through your financial support. Your donations to support the work of FfPP are greatly appreciated and may be tax deductible. FfPP is a California non-profit corporation. Al Weber, President |
