Photographer Pictures UTD as New Home for Collection

After 50 years of capturing the beauty of important cultural spaces around the world, photographer Carolyn Brown has committed to leave her entire life’s work to the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History at The University of Texas at Dallas. The collection includes thousands of images of the Middle East, Mexico, the Southwest and Dallas.

In 1969 Carolyn Brown departed Chicago on the first flight of her life to Egypt to study Islamic art and architecture at The American University in Cairo. Her experience over the next three years began a career in photography that would take her across the Middle East, Mexico and the southwestern U.S. Her archives include thousands of print and digital images from 14 countries, including 24 Mexican states, as well as locations across Texas and the city of Dallas.
