UCR / California
Museum of Photography's Women Photographers website is an extensive
survey project drawing on images from UCR/CMP's collections, associated
with the exhibition Independent Visions, January 23, 1999 through
May 2, 1999. It is curated by Karen Barber, with support from UCR/CMP
staff.
(A panel
discussion was held at the museum Saturday, March 20,
1999.)
Photo historians
will recognize that this site includes images by some of the best-known
names in the history of the medium as well as significant or exemplary
images by other less famous photographers. This site is intended to
contribute material to the body of knowledge in the field, providing
a substantial educational resource on the world wide web. There are
notable omissions here, of course, as the UCR / CMP collection is by
no means comprehensive.
