(TUCSON, ARIZONA)--The Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the
University of Arizona today launched the first-ever redesign of its website,
http://www.creativephotography.org.
"The site's navigation was designed to guide visitors to rich information
about the centerpiece of the Center for Creative Photography--our vast
collections and archives," said Acting Director Amy Rule. "In addition,
enhanced exhibition and education sections help visitors when planning a
trip to this major attraction in Tucson."
As with CCP's building, the website is a dynamic environment that reinforces
CCP's integrated program of preservation, access, and education that
celebrates the history of photography and its contemporary practice. On the
website on on-site, visitors can learn about CCP's fine print collection,
research archives, exhibitions, free events, library, PrintViewing program,
educational resources, fellowship opportunities, membership, publications,
and store.
Future phases of the site will add more collection information and images.

text links to each major sections in the footer, the website features a
navigation cube in the upper left corner.
