Historical Note

“Images and Words” was a two-week workshop offered at the University of California, Santa Cruz, from June 26-July 8, 1967. The workshop staff, Ansel Adams, Beaumont Newhall, Nancy Newhall, and Robert Katz, gave instruction in the collection, preparation, and use of photographs and text for publication. The workshop participants produced a photo essay ready for publication as a project. Elizabeth Wilcox was a participant in the workshop and documented her experience in the photographs which comprise the bulk of the collection.
