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.

Edward Weston's Book of Nudes: based on the orginal unpublished book, By Edward Weston, Nancy Wynne Newhall, Nancy Newhall, Brett Abbott, J. Paul Getty Museum. Compiled by Edward Weston, Nancy Newhall. Contributor Brett Abbott. Published by The J. Paul Getty Museum in association with the Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona, Tucson, 2007. Original from the University of Michigan. Digitized Dec 17, 2007. ISBN 0892369035, 9780892369034. 87 pages. Google Books says: "In 1953 the writer and curator Nancy Newhall assembled, with the cooperation of the photographer Edward Weston, a mock-up for an elegant book featuring Weston's photographs of the nude. It was the only book on this subject that Weston himself participated in creating. The sample book intersperses landscapes and still lifes with nude studies and includes an essay written by Newhall on the artist's aesthetic. The proposal was rejected in the 1950s, however, by publishers of fine art photographs, who were reluctant to address the subject. In 1985 the mock-up was acquired by the J. Paul Getty Museum with some pages and prints missing, yet it was only in 2006 that curator Brett Abbott recognized the key to reconstructing the unpublished book in its entirety. Now, in association with the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, the Getty has finally been able to realize Newhall and Weston's vision. The present volume has been produced with distinctions of paper and ink to indicate those elements that have been added-including a preface by the curator and thumbnail reproductions of the mock-up as it now exists-and those elements that were part of the original, including Newhall's essay and all thirty-nine photographs, arranged on the pages as Newhall and Weston had placed them."
