[Aztlan] Location of old Carnegie Maya Photos

[David Lebrun]

Carl,

As far as I know all the Carnegie photos were absorbed into the photo  
archives of Harvard's Peabody Museum, where the prints are available  
and the negatives in cold storage.   Almost everything (or at least a  
very great amount) is now searchable online on Peabody's marvelous  
site "Collections Online" at http://140.247.102.177/col/Search.cfm.   
Searching for "photographs" there brings up 65,000 viewable items;  
"photographs Copan" brings up over 2000, mostly from the Morley  
years.  With careful online searching you can follow the entire  
photographic history of the Carnegie project, and order high-rez  
scans from the Peabody if needed for publication or other purposes.   
This was an invaluable resource in creating our documentary film  
"Breaking the Maya Code."
