Churches, Tombs, Markets, Archaeological Sites, 1999-2000

 File — Box: 13, Folder: 5-7

Scope and Content

From the Collection: Collection includes around 78,000 35mm slides and a small number of film negatives photographed by Furst. There are also commercially purchased slides and some taken by a few other photographers, including his wife, Dee Furst. Furst used this collection for his teaching and research. The image topics include: pre-Hispanic and colonial era Latin American art and architecture; pre-Columbian, colonial, modern, and contemporary Native American ceremonial, tourist, and functional art objects, fine art, and cultural photographs; Asian and Siberian art and cultural artifacts; and photographs of flora and fauna specimens. The collection includes Furst's visits to many pre-Hispanic archaeological sites, as well as his trips to Europe. Many of the photographs are from museum collections, as well as galleries and private collections, with a significant number of images from the pre-Columbian expert David Stuart's gallery collections in Los Angeles.

Collection was received as binders of slides labeled by Furst into groups believed to correspond to lecture and research groupings. Furst's binder arrangement is preserved in folders, with each folder or folder group corresponding to one of the original binders. Slide order within binders/folders has generally been preserved; but binders have been alphabetized by topic. Collection was first received by the Bunting Visual Resources Library at the University of New Mexico and was later transferred to the Center for Southwest Research in 2016 and was processed in 2019. Specific identifying information is recorded in "general" notes with the archival object file records. A 2023 addition is comprised of an unpublished, incomplete book project returned by a publisher. The proposed book would have been titled "Shamanism and Arts of Ecstasy" and proposal materials include slides, prints, correspondence and an incomplete manuscript.
