The Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the University of Arizona actively collects, preserves, interprets, and makes available materials that are essential to understanding photography and its history. Through its archives, collections, education programs, exhibitions, and publications, the Center promotes research into and appreciation of the photographic medium. Located on the campus of The University of Arizona in Tucson, the Center for Creative Photography is a research institution and museum. See the CCP's website for hours and days the CCP is open to the public, and for admission fees.
The CCP was co-founded by Ansel Adams in 1975, and holds more archives and individual works by 20th-century North American photographers than any other museum in the nation, including the archives of over sixty major photographers -- Richard Avedon, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Harry Callahan, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, Edward Weston, and Garry Winogrand, among them -- whose prints are the centerpiece of an art collection numbering more than 60,000 works by 2,000 photographers. CCP has an integrated program of preservation, access, and education that celebrates the history of photography and its contemporary practice. Visitors enjoy a changing exhibition program, Research Center, educational programs, Library, Museum Store, and public access to the vast collection through the renowned PrintViewing program.
