Today, assembling photo albums is becoming largely immaterial due to digital technology, but the photographic album exploded in popularity in the twentieth century. Whether to memorialize, document, promote, educate, or simply channel creative energy, photo albums became handmade artists' objects. Join Verna Curtis, curator of photography at the Library of Congress, as she discusses album projects represented in her new book Photographic Memory: The Album in the Age of Photography —from an 1899 Alaskan expedition album of Edward Sheriff Curtis' early work, to Walker Evans' extended suite of images in study for Let Us Know Praise Famous Men, to a family album by Danny Lyon. A book signing follows the talk.
