CENTER FOR CREATIVE


PHOTOGRAPHY


The Center for Creative Photography (CCP) in
Tucson, Arizona, in the United States is an archive,
museum and library dedicated to preserving, exhi-
biting, and promoting the study of creative photo-
graphy in its broad diversity. It is a repository for
the lifetime records and photographs of more than
sixty photographers and photographic institutions.
It promotes interest in photography by hosting
exhibitions drawn from its collections, by exhibit-
ing the work of contemporary photographers orga-
nized by its curatorial staff, and by serving as host
to traveling exhibitions organized by other institu-
tions. The CCP maintains and circulates an exten-
sive library of books and other publications by and
about photographers in its collections and about
the greatly diverse range of photographic activity
in the history of photography.
A unit of the University of Arizona Library, the
CCP was founded in 1975 by then University Pre-
sident John P. Schaefer and photographer Ansel
Adams when Schaefer approached Adams and sug-
gested the University of Arizona as an eventual
home for Adams’ archive. From that initial idea
the CCP has evolved to become a major institution
supporting the study of the history of photography
by offering both the products of a photographers’
career and the archival materials documenting the
conditions in which that work was created.
The CCP opened in 1975 under the direction of
Harold Jones, founding director of Light Gallery in


New York. James Enyeart, director of the Friends
of Photography, in Carmel, California, became
director of the CCP in 1977 when Jones left to
found the photography program at the University
of Arizona’s department of art. Enyeart directed
the CCP for more than ten years, further developing
its collections and leading the campaign to provide
the Center with a permanent home in a state-of-the-
art building on the University campus; he left the
CCP in 1989 to become director of the International
Museum of Photography and Film, George East-
man House in Rochester, New York. Terence Pitts,
who had been librarian and later curator under
Jones and Enyeart, served as director of the CCP
from 1990 to 2000. In August 2003 Douglas R.
Nickel, a graduate of Princeton University and for-
merly curator of photography at the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art, was appointed director of
the CCP.
The CCP became a reality when the five found-
ing archives of Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, Harry
Callahan, Aaron Siskind and Frederick Sommer
were received in Tucson in 1975. When the CCP
celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2000 its
Research Center held the lifetime archives of over
50 photographers and many smaller collections. In
addition to those already cited, the CCP holds
archives or significant manuscript collections from
the photographers Edward Weston, Dean Brown,
Dorothy Norman, Paul Strand and Garry Wino-
