Through the generous donation by an alumna of a suite of vintage glass negatives, the NELSON is offering for sale new c-prints of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake taken in the days and weeks after the disaster. We have not been able to identify the artist but believe these to be rare images. The quality of the negatives allows for amazingly detailed prints from scans.

For the first time, in 2011 the Nelson commissioned a UC Davis Art History graduate student to select one piece from the permanent collection and use it as the basis for researching a paper. The award was given to Kamal Zargar who presented his work on May 31, 2011 in the gallery; Zargar has graciously agreed to make his text available here.
