Holdings Description:

Collections of the ICFA support the three studies programs at Dumbarton Oaks, with the primary collecting focus thus far centered on Byzantine studies. Byzantine image collections include black-and-white prints, color transparencies, slides, and negatives of Byzantine art, architecture, and archaeology from the fourth through the fifteenth century. The emphasis is on materials from Byzantium and neighboring cultures: Italy, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Romania, Russia, Armenia, and Georgia, as well as Greece, Syria, Israel, and Egypt. There is also a limited number of Russian, Crusader, and post-Byzantine works. Photographs are generally arranged by photographic format, medium, country, city, and site. Fieldwork archives include documentation from archaeological campaigns: textual, photographic and drawings.
