Abbye A. Gorin Collection
(Collection 1)
The Abbye A. Gorin Collection includes photographs of people, city and country scenes, architecture, archaeological sites and pre-Columbian art in Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and the Museum of Mankind in England, taken from 1965-85. Gorin used two cameras in shooting the photographs in the collection: a Rolleiflex (purchased 1954) with a fixed 3.5/75mm lens, and a Leica M-3 (purchased 1963) with Leica Summicron 50mm, Summicron 35mm, and Elmarit 90mm Lenses. She printed with a Bessler 23C enlarger (purchased ca. 1960) with a Beslon 4.5/10mm and Leitz Focotar 4.5/50mm lenses. The majority of film was processed by Gorin.
The collection is inventoried in alphabetical order by country, date, city or historic site, and political subdivision. Each entry indicates the storage box number and the country and date of each grouping, followed by the total count of negatives and prints in the group. The first number in the column to the left is the item number of the entry (when two or more images are mounted together there is only one entry number). "N" represents the number of negatives in each entry (when possible two or three exposures of each view were made). Identification of the camera used is indicated by "R" for Rolleiflex which produces 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 negatives and "L" for Leica which produces 35mm negatives. "P" represents a print count. A notched negative usually indicates the negative printed. After the identifying numbers, each print is described.
The collection inventory contains 755 entries, referring to 1,760 negatives and 718 prints.

Box No. 13 Abraham Guillén Melgar Photographs In Other Collections
Peru
Copied by Gorin, 1983
For Gorin's master's thesis, "Research for Planning, Design, and Restoration: The Role of Historical Documentary Photography," University of New Orleans, 1985, a selected group of social scientific photographs by master photographer Abraham Guillén (Peru 1901-1985) was analyzed to demonstrate how documentary photographs, a reservoir of information barely touched by researchers, are primary informational resources. This group of study prints was also used to write "The Art of Documentary Photography: Abraham Guillén Melgar (b. 1901)" (unpublished paper) and "Chan Chan, Peru (A.D. 950-1440)" (unpublished paper), the later based on her 1984 field study in Chan Chan and environs. The groups are arranged: Yale, Kubler, Dobyns-Doughty, and the Latin American Photographic Archive.

Box No. 13 George Kubler Collection (N-25/P-08)
Peru, 1951
George Kubler, Ph.D., art and architectural historian and prolific writer, professor emeritus of Yale University, had a long working relationship with Guillén. Dr. Kubler not only had great respect for Guillén and his work but also for the doors he opened for him in Peru, especially on the UNESCO Cuzco Project which was organized after the 21 May 1951 earthquake. Dr. Kubler was a member of the team of experts who evaluated the architectural damages and studied traffic patterns in that city. Dr. Kubler was happy that the master photographer was being academically recognized and assisted Gorin to reconstruct Guillén's role in the Cuzco UNESCO mission. Guillén produced a thousand photographs which were used by the experts to evaluate damages to the buildings. The following selected images represents only a small sample of the monumental property damage that occurred in Cuczo from the disastrous quake. To reproduce any of these photographs one must obtain permission from Dr. Kubler.

Box No. 13 Henry E. Dobyns-Paul L. Doughty Collection (N-07/P-07)
Peru, 1950-1955
Henry E. Dobyns, Ph.D. and Paul L. Doughty, Ph.D., both sociologists who worked on the Cornell-Peru Vicos Project, helped Gorin to reconstruct Abraham Guillén's role in this project from 1950-55. Drs. Dobyns and Doughty recognized not only Guillén's photographic skills but also the social scientific value of his body of work at Vicos and rescued his archive when it was in danger of being tossed out at the close of the project. Gorin was allowed to review this collection and to print from Guillén's original negatives the following six images which she judged to be extraordinary for subject, composition, sensitivity, exposure, and degree of difficulty. All negatives were printed full frame. These photographs are not available for reproduction.
The following seven negatives are copy negatives made from Gorin's prints. The film number follows the description of the image.

Box No. 15 Richard P. Schaedel Collection (N-04/P-55)
Peru, ca. 1948
Printed from Dr. Schaedel's negatives, 1984
Identification guided by Dr. Schaedel (personal communication)
The following Andean photographs were taken by American pioneer anthropologist-archaeologist Richard P. Schaedel, Ph.D. whose research in Peru began with his dissertation, "An Analysis of Central Andean Stone Sculpture," Yale, 1952. Among Dr. Schaedel's wide network of Peruvian friends was Abraham Guillén. All of the photographs in this collection were made with a Rolleiflex borrowed from Guillén in 1947-48 and with a Kodak Reflex camera in 1948.
Dr. Schaedel lived and worked in the desert on the North Coast of Peru for fifteen years. Among his many achievements was the direction of the excavation of the whole Huaca El Dragón near Chan Chan. In April 1954 Life magazine (36(14):25-27) published the story of the expedition Dr. Schaedel led into the Andes twenty-five miles from Santiago, Chile to recover the frozen body of a noble Inca child. From the beginning of Dr. Schaedel's career he has demonstrated not only the importance of making social-scientific documentary photographs, but also how to use this kind of graphic information along with books and manuscripts. Dr. Schaedel has had a long teaching career at the University of Texas, Austin, and has published extensively. When his friend Paul Kosok died before finishing Life, Land and Water in Ancient Peru, Dr. Schaedel completed the book and carried it through publication (NY: Long Island University, 1965).
Dr. Schaedel helped Gorin to reconstruct Guillén's career. The following study images were printed by Gorin from the original 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 negatives in Dr. Schaedel's large private visual library. These prints were also used by Gorin in her 1984 field study of Chan Chan and the paper that followed, "Chan Chan, Peru (A.D. 950-1440)." To reproduce any photographs from this collection one must obtain permission from Dr. Schaedel.

Box No. 16 Cristóbal Campana Collection (N-0/P-43)
Peru
Photographs acquired in 1984
Cristóbal Campana, Director of the Instituto Nacional de Cultura in Trujillo and teacher at the National University of Trujillo, published his research on Moche architecture in La Vivienda Mochica, Trujillo, Peru, 1983. All of the photographs in this collection were made by Campana and printed from his negatives by Segundo Rivasplata, photographer in Trujillo. To reproduce any photographs from this collection one must obtain permission from Campana. Identification was guided by Campana.
562/N-2/P-1 Cristóbal Campana D.: Portrait, made in the dining room of the Hotel de Turistas de Trujillo, which was located on the main city plaza, June 1984.
563/N-0/P-1 Chan Chan (near Trujillo), La Libertad: Huaca el Higo, mud plaster panel with two human figures repeated in a ground level frieze.
564/N-0/P-1 Chan Chan: Huaca el Higo, detail of two human figures featured in the frieze.
565/N-0/P-1 Chan Chan: Rivero, circle pattern frieze, perhaps an astronomical station or calendar.
566/N-0/P-22 Chan Chan: Velarde, Tule Boat Frieze, also named Burr Frieze after Samuel H. Burr who uncovered a portion of the frieze. Burr was a member of the Chan Chan-Moche Valley Project, summer 1969. After the frieze was photographed and analyzed, the excavated panels were reburied for preservation; nothing was left visible. For description of the marine theme see Gorin, "Chan Chan, Peru (A.D. 950-1440)," 1984, p. 25 (unpublished).
567/N-0/P-1 Chan Chan: Grand Chimú, remains of mud plaster tapestry-like abstract design perhaps with zoomorphic figures.

Box No. 19 Miscellaneous and Experiments
In the early days of the Archive Gorin conducted experiments in copying and printing vintage photographs. The following are the results of these experiments.
Southeastern Architectural Archive (SEAA), Tulane School of Architecture, Lantern Slide Collection, October 1980 (N-72/P-14)
This collection of several hundred lantern slides concerning world architecture was the teaching collection for the Tulane School of Architecture. Lantern slides were superseded by 35mm slide technology in the 1930s. Bernard Lemann, Ph.D., professor emeritus of architectural history, recalled using both lantern and 35mm slides in his 1940s classes. For safe keeping the collection has been moved to SEAA and is housed in its original cabinets. The vintage projector is also in SEAA. These lantern slides are 3-1/4" h x 4" w (outside dimensions).
In 1980, before the collection was moved to SEAA, Gorin discovered a group of Latin American lantern slide images. Celia Maddox, then slide librarian at the School of Architecture, made copy negatives of seventy-two samples which she selected for good and bad qualities to test her procedures. She enlarged and cropped some slides to test for quality of definition. Gorin made a few test prints from this group of negatives.
There are two rolls of 36-35mm negatives, and although the inventory is listed in alphabetical order, the negatives are stored in numerical film sequence. Following the description of each entry is the roll and negative numbers. Description of each image is kept close to the slide's label should one wish to retrive a slide; in some cases the description has been expanded. Robert Boulanger, Hachette World Guides, Mexico, Paris: Hachette, 1968, was a reference.
