SHADOW CATCHING:
Rare Copies of Edward Curtis’ “The North American Indian” Conserved for the Denver Museum of Nature & Science
- A New NEDCC Story
At the turn of the 20th century, American photographer Edward S. Curtis set out to produce a monumental study of the native peoples of North America. Known by some tribes as "Shadow Catcher," Curtis personally visited eighty tribes and
captured a unique photographic record of the tribes' traditional way of life.
The Bailey Library and Archives staff at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science recently discovered two rare copies of Curtis’ work in their collections and prioritized the volumes for conservation treatment.
