Scope & content

Consisting of Individual and Group Portfolios, the bulk of the Portfolios are created by senior and graduate Photography students, 1966-2021. The thesis portfolios may contain a thesis statement, mounted or unmounted prints (black and white, color, silver, and other formats), slides, videotapes and film, negatives, contact sheets, computer compact disks, acetates, artifacts, or a portfolio database worksheet. The Group portfolios consist of boxed sets created by RISD students, alumni, and faculty or non-RISD photographers. Miscellaneous Work consists of RISD student material collected by the Photography Department.

The Portfolios are entered into the searchable Photography Resource Center database, a copy of which is maintained at the RISD Archives.
