From the Sub-Series:

Featuring loans from major museums, archives, and private collections from around the world, this exhibition reveals over 180 photographs taken in Tibet between 1880 and 1950, many of which had never before been displayed in public. Accompanying these photographs were 30 tankas, sculpture and art objects complementing the selection of vintage photographs and silver prints. "Tibet" was directed by Michael E. Hoffman, Advisor to the Alfred Stieglitz Center and supported through a grant from The Pew Memorial Trust.

This series includes budgeting and funding files; education and programming materials with a separate file for opening events; information on packing and shipping, lenders and loans, and exhibition installation; catalogue materials; publicity; and documentation regarding the exhibition's travel to the Institute for the Arts at Rice University in Houston and the Asia Society Galleries in New York.
