P&P ONLINE CATALOG - EDWARD S. CURTIS COLLECTION
The Edward S. Curtis Collection offers a unique glimpse into Curtis's work
with indigenous cultures. The more than 2,400 silver-gelatin photographic
prints were acquired by the Library of Congress through copyright deposit
from about 1900 through 1930. About two-thirds (1,608) of these images were
not published in Curtis's multi-volume work, The North American Indian.
The collection includes a large number of individual or group portraits,
as well as traditional and ceremonial dress, dwellings and other structures,
agriculture, arts and crafts, rites and ceremonies, dances, games, food
preparation, transportation, and scenery. The portion of the collection
that is cataloged online represents those photographs for which copy negatives
or transparencies exist.
