From the moment I met with the extraordinary team at The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona I knew the CCP was the right place to house my archive. The CCP is at the pinnacle of photographic institutions. Its new dynamic leadership, from CCP Director Anne Breckenridge Barrett, to Chief Curator Becky Senf, and University President Robert Robbins, values the importance of images and are committed to incorporating them into the wider curriculum at the University of Arizona. I’ve been a fan the CCP since 1975 when University President John Schaefer, who along with Ansel Adams, founded the institution. Since then, it has grown into one of the most

astonishing collections of American photography in the world, housing the archives of some of the best photographers to ever pick up a camera. One of the greatest, of course, is Ansel Adams, who was also a dear friend. The idea of having my photographs next to Ansel’s, Edward Weston’s, W. Eugene Smith’s, Wynn Bullock’s, Garry Winogrand’s, and so many others is truly thrilling! I look forward to many years of collaboration and partnership with the CCP and the University. It is the perfect culmination of my life-long mission to document history and will insure that my pictures will be utilized forever.” –David Hume Kennerly

David Hume Kennerly’s contribution to the practice of photojournalism is unmatched and the Center for Creative Photography is poised and proud to steward such a critical body of work. Adding the Kennerly archive to our canon will not only allow the Center to connect the relevance of Kennerly’s work to the photographic legacy we house, but it will allow us to focus our priorities around the digital access, engagement and expansion.” –Anne Breckenridge Barrett, Director, Center for Creative Photography

The vision that Ansel Adams and I had for the Center for Creative Photography was to be the keeper and caretaker of the best of this work and to maintain the legacies of our most important photographers. That is exactly what the CCP is today. David Hume Kennerly is a prime documentarian of American history for over 50 years, and his work embodies excellence in the field of photojournalism. His archive belongs at the CCP.� –John P. Schaefer President Emeritus of the University of Arizona and Co-Founder of the Center for Creative Photography 11

CONSERVATION CURATORIAL
Curatorial: Rebecca Senf, Chief Curator and the curatorial team are working with Kennerly on the creation of an multi UA venue inaugural exhibition, that will be installed through out the UA campus. This exhibition is a part of the public celebration of the David Hume Kennerly Archive planned for the fall of 2019.
Archives: Leslie Squires, Senior Archivist and Emily Una Weirich, Associate Archivist for Digital Indicatives, are working with their teams to process and inventory all the thousands of images, documents and records that make of the Kennerly archive, as well as prepare for the additions of new material from David, as he continues with his vibrant career. The Kennerly Archive consists of over 15 years of born digital images and digitized content, and through a robust and sustainable digital program, the Center for Creative Photography will make the majority of all this content accessible online. Physical materials ranging from negatives and prints, to airline boarding passes and suitcases, to correspondence and cameras will all be digitized in CCP’s state of the art digital imaging unit by a team of professional photographers and UA students.
ARCHIVES REGISTRATION
Registration: Senior Registrar, Megan Clancy and her staff are performing an indepth review of the Kennerly Archive fine prints. At the CCP, these prints are managed and cared for according to the best practices and high ethical standards of the museum profession. Once this organization is complete, the data gathered here will allow Registration staff to fully catalog and make accessible for educators, scholars, museums, and publishers around the world.
Metadata is the connective tissue to bind all this content together within the body of the Kennerly Archive, to other photographs and archives at CCP and to other content from around the globe. The Metadata will be enhanced by subject specialists to increase interdisciplinary discovery and use. 15

Thank You Photography is an inherently democratic medium. It has played a vital role in shaping how people understand the most important events of our time. It has globalized the world and brought international issues to the forefront of the American consciousness. Few archives demonstrate the immense impact of photojournalism like the Kennerly Archive. We’re honored to house the David Hume Kennerly Archive at the University of Arizona Center for Creative Photography. This amazingly rich collection will have a fitting home, one where it’s shared, revered, and anchored within the pantheon of photography and photojournalism. With your help, we will display its materials proudly, promote its seminal contributions to photojournalism, deepen understanding, and foster an energy that strengthens the Kennerly legacy deep into the future.
