From the birth of photography through the atomic age, The Burns Archive with over one million historic photographs is best known for providing photographic evidence of forgotten, unseen and disquieting aspects of history. The cornerstone of The Burns Archive is its unparalleled collection of early medical photography, but it is also renowned for its iconic images depicting the darker side of life: Death, Disease, Disaster, Mayhem, Crime, Racism, Revolution and War. The Burns Archive has published dozens of books and curated and contributed to frequent national and international museum and gallery exhibitions. Over the past forty years, thousands of publishers, exhibitors, authors, researchers, artists and filmmakers have utilized The Archive and its unique source of visual documentation. The Archive proves that with the right photographic evidence, history has infinite stories to tell.
