About

One of America’s leading and most influential visual documentarians, Carl Fleischhauer’s contributions to the theory and practice of his field and to the image collections of the Library of Congress, particularly those of the American Folklife Center, have been substantial. Since joining the Library in the 1970s, his images, his approaches to fieldwork and his involvement in AFC fieldwork survey projects during the 1970s-1990s shared some of the Center’s most important early initiatives. His major contributions in helping establish international technical standards for the digital preservation of audiovisual materials, through the Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) and similar programs, led the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) to establish the Carl Fleischhauer Award in 2023. In this Botkin Lecture, Fleischhauer will discuss his approaches to fieldwork, photographic documentation and archiving, and recount his experiences as a fieldworker on some of American Folklife Center’s now-iconic field survey projects.
