Founded in 1974 and now inclusive of roughly 65,000 pictures, the pictures assortment of the CCA has been integral to the event of understandings of the connection between pictures and structure and to establishing this relationship as a definite discipline of visible and historic scholarship.

For the fellowship’s inaugural yr, we search functions from researchers investigating any side of nineteenth-century pictures—probably the most substantive a part of the gathering—because it intersects with the pure and constructed atmosphere. We welcome functions from photographers and artists with a research-driven follow, researchers from all disciplines whose present tasks are oriented particularly towards pictures, and historians of pictures and picture making.
