The Archives of the Penn Museum (the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology) house an extensive photograph collection, more than half a million images in all formats, of Penn’s excavations in the field. The histories of archaeology and photography are intertwined, and photographic documentation is essential in both archaeology and anthropology. Senior Archivist Alessandro Pezzati will guide you on a Behind the Scenes tour of rare photographic prints of pioneers in the field of archaeology and anthropology from around the world, ranging from the 1860s to the 1920s, including images by Edward S. Curtis, William Henry Jackson, Felix Bonfils, and more.
