UMBC Special Collections has recently revamped the guide to Researching African American Photographers and invites you to check it out. We have added information on two Baltimore photographers within the collection, Cary Beth Cryor and Irving Henry Webster Phillips Sr. Other changes included the addition of more articles, books on specific photographers, and books on compilations of photographers. There are plenty of examples of research sources and a lot more to find in the included databases, outside resources, and the article searches.

Learn more about the Photography Collections at UMBC on our website and please feel free to contact us if you need assistance. You can reach the Special Collections archivists and librarians at speccoll@umbc.edu.
