Photographic Prints

The Magnum Photos library is a living archive updated daily with new work from across the globe. The library houses all the work produced by Magnum photographers and some special collections by non-members. There are approximately one million photographs in both print and transparency in the physical library, with over 500,000 images available online.

Magnum offices also house correspondence, tearsheets, contacts, slides and negatives.
 

There is at least one folder of letters and memos and a considerable number of photographs from Ian Berry from Ghana in 1966-67 and a few contact sheets from Ernst Scheidegger in Lebanon in 1953. Attached is a PDF of the letters. These are not all of them; only the ones that were of interest to Christian McMillen, Professor of History at University of Virginia (cwm6w@virginia.edu). Included here aresome letters from Chim, John Morris, letters concerning Berry’s work in Ghana, etc. It is not known if these Ghana photos were ever published.

Researcher Pauline Vermare has indicated holdings of Elliott Erwitt, Martine Franck, Marc Riboud, and HCB. The organization has been contacted for confirmation and this resource will be updated pending their reply
