Photography in the Archive and Its Place in Memory, Heritage and Public Access
Archives, meanwhile, preserve relationships between images. Series, authors, commissions, date ranges, and descriptive practices help keep a photograph from being detached from its provenance. El Museo Canario describes its Historical Photography Collection as spanning 1860 to 1970. This apparently simple chronological boundary is vital information: it establishes the collection’s scope and helps researchers avoid confusing one collection with photography’s entire history.
When Photography Becomes an Archive: Five Public Collections for Reading Visual Memory
El Museo Canario describes its Historical Photography Collection as dating from 1860 to 1970. That span alone reminds us that an archive can cross political, social, technical and aesthetic changes while its items retain their relationship as a whole. The unit of interpretation need not be a famous photograph: it can be a series, a provenance, a technique or an archival description.
