Library of Congress Acquires Historic Photography Collection from Pittsburgh

Library of Congress Acquires Historic Photography Collection from Pittsburgh The Library of Congress has acquired a historical collection of amateur photographic prints from the Photographic Section of the Academy of Science and Art of Pittsburgh, one of the nation's oldest continuously operating photography clubs. The collection includes approximately 700 prints that were exhibited in the organization's salons held annually from 1914 through 1980, along with a full run of salon catalogs. While many works are by Pittsburgh-based photographers, the collection includes nationally and internationally recognized figures such as Hiromu Kira, Harry K. Shigeta, William Mortensen, A. Aubrey Bodine, Jose Ortiz Echague, Rudolf Koppitz and Leonard Missone. Many of these photographers are not currently represented in the Library's Prints and Photographs Division.
