Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Archives

This collection consists solely of photographic copy prints of The Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation's Photograph Collection prior to the transfer of the collection from The Foundation to the Museum. Over 1000 copy prints originally created by a variety of different known and unknown photographers document O'Keeffe's life and work.

Color slides, transparencies and negatives, contact sheets, and digital surrogates created by Malcolm Varon of Georgia O'Keeffe in Northern New Mexico in summer and fall 1977. The order of arrangement is based on Varon's own inventory of the collection.

The Maria Chabot Archive includes correspondence, photographs, and film, dating from 1940 to 2001.

The Maria Chabot Papers documents the life and work of Maria Chabot. The bulk of the items date from 1933 to the 1990s.
