What Photojournalism Archive does
Mission
The specific purpose of the Photojournalism Archive is to preserve and display in an online-only archive the work of photojournalists, especially but not exclusively individuals who have worked as staff photographers for newspapers and other journalistic publications, so their work can be studied by the public for educational enrichment. The work of photojournalists, especially those who focus on in-depth stories, is at risk of being lost to history as a result of the rapid decline of newspapers and the fact that most online publications do not archive the images, preserving only the written word. This was our first year as a nonprofit. We have been able to complete the development project, initiate a partnership with a university, develop a prototype for the archive and begin gathering the work of photographers. We have also established systems to digitize and preserve the images that will be in in the archive.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
This was our first year as a nonprofit project. It was a development year and as such we worked on getting the project clearly defined, acquiring and implementing the systems to create and support the archive, creating the necessarily partnerships, relationships within the photojournalism community, and most significantly, building the prototype for the archive that we plan on launching in 2024. We did reach out to a dozen photojournalists who have agreed to participate in the project. They are and will benefit from the archive preserving their work, however that work is not available to the public yet. As executive director, I spoke to photojournalism students at the University of Missouri about our project and the need to preserve photojournalism. I also participated in a podcast with the National Press Photographers Association to publicize the project among members of the organizations.
