The collection consists of records from the offices of the National Press Photographers Association, correspondence among
members, printed material produced by the NPPA and affiliates, other material including "Living History" interviews with veteran
photojournalists, photographs, and awards submissions. Many boxes of slides came from individual photographers as well as
group presentations such as the Pictures of the Year.
The collection contains photographs and some personal papers from Joseph Costa, founder and first president of NPPA as well
as executive editor of the organization's official magazine, National Press Photographer (later retitled News Photographer),
from 1946 to 1966.
In January of 2017, 30 boxes of material were added to the collection from the late James R. "Jim" Gordon, editor of News
Photographer magazine from 1978 to 2003. These files include a broad range of subject files, photographs used in the magazine,
and a number of miscellaneous files containing documents, photos, and other material. The James Gordon material has been minimally
processed and described at the box level.
The Hargrett Library also holds many issues of News Photographer magazine from 1947 to 1974.
