Inaugurated in August 2003, the Photography Criticism CyberArchive provides access to multiple texts by a diversity of past and present authors in the fields of history, criticism, and theory of photography from the medium's inception through the present day. Represented here by complete texts of key essays and complete books you will find writers ranging from such early commentators as W. H. F. Talbot, L. J. M. Daguerre, and Lady Elizabeth Eastlake through Alfred Stieglitz, Charles Caffin, and Sadakichi Hartmann to contemporary observers including Donna-Lee Phillips, A. D. Coleman, and Nancy Brokaw, among a host of others.
Until now, there has been no one single online source providing access to multiple texts by a diversity of authors in the fields of history, criticism, and theory of photography from the medium's inception through the present day. And although a few contemporary writers on this medium have established websites of their own, and individual essays by numerous other writers on photography past and present do appear online, these are scattered and difficult to locate. We offer a substantial selection that, as it expands over time, should satisfy the basic research and reference needs of many in the field. It already contains, in a single location, far more writing on photography by far more authors than any other website. In order to continue to make this CyberArchive of material available, and to enable its steady growth, we've instituted a password-protection system based on subscription. We have one fee structure for individual subscribers, and another for institutional/group subscriptions (e.g., a photo department, a university library, an art museum, a gallery). The resulting revenues will both provide some financial return to the Photography Criticism CyberArchive's living authors and facilitate the keying-in, scanning and/or html work involved in preparing new material for the CyberArchive, thereby subsidizing the steady enhancement of this repository for its users.
