"The publication of the handbook has been the occasion for the exhibition 'An educated eye: Princeton University Art Museum collections,' on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from February 23 through August 3, 2008"--T.p. vers

This 3-vol. work constitutes a vastly enlarged and expanded new edition of the Index to American Photographic Collections, 3rd enlarged edition, differing from the previous editions in two important respects. First is the inclusion of holdings from outside the United States, a natural evolution in our shrinking world. The second is the inclusion of exhibition histories, cross-referenced by photographer and sponsoring institution, providing a useful new context for evaluating less well-known photographers.
