Series
Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The original accession includes 383 photographic prints, and approximately 31,000 35mm and 2.25" negatives, contact sheets, prints, and job files representing Steven Donahue's work as a professional photographer and printer, primarily in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Collection is arranged in four groups: fine art prints, notebooks, commercial work, and miscellaneous prints and negatives.
The fine art prints, boxes 1, 2 and 3, are grouped by size and represent several thematic projects Donahue pursued. CSWR collections focus on regional topics, and the Steven Donahue collection includes an extensive representation of People in the Arts, Urban Places, The West, Petroglyphs, and representative examples of Donahue's other series: Portraits, Still Lifes, Staged Photographs, Michigan, and Ice Crystals.
The notebook contents have been transferred to folders, housing the prints and negatives separately, but generally maintaining Donahue's original order and labels.
The commercial group are job files arranged alphabetically
The final group are miscellaneous negative, slides, color and black and white prints, family snapshots and photographs, reproductions and contact sheets. This group includes a small collection of glass plate negatives associated with Donahue's exploration of printing processes and techniques.
