Collection Overview

William Gedney Photographs and Writings spans the 1950s to 1989 and includes negatives; contact sheets; proofs; prints; slides; indexes; handmade, illustrated books; journals, notebooks; and diaries. The collection documents Gedney's work as a photographer and his bookbinding expertise and interests. The photographs primarily document life in the United States, particularly in New York, rural Kentucky, and San Francisco; life in India, particularly Benares and Calcutta; and American composers. Two themes in Gedney's oeuvre are his "Night" series and nudes. The "Night" series was created throughout most of Gedney's career and spanned all geographic locations. The nudes were primarily photographed at the Pratt Institute where Gedney taught. The handmade books were designed and made by Gedney and are illustrated with his photographic prints. More than half of the collection's series are photographs, including Negatives, Contact Sheets, Proofs, Prints, Film Development Tests, and Slides (transparencies) series. Since the collection follows Gedney's arrangement by photograph formats, not subjects, images of most subjects are scattered throughout all of the series in the collection.
A predominant subject in the collection, one that appears in most of the series, is New York, especially Brooklyn. Subjects, both in Brooklyn and elsewhere in metropolitan New York, include religious festivals, such as the Italian-American feast of San Gennaro, Sunday School parades, first communion parades, and Good Friday processions; gospel revivals; the Washington Market; a bar named O'Rourks; the Brooklyn Bridge; Coney Island; the subway and "the El"; St. Joseph's School for the Deaf; crowds; the Salvation Army; and Myrtle Ave. Gedney lived on Myrtle Ave., and many of his New York street scenes were made there. Gay rallies and marches in New York City were photographed, and the dates of these events usually coincide with the anniversary dates of the Stonewall riots. Other events Gedney photographed include car shows, flower shows, and body building exhibitions. There are photographs of Diane Arbus, a photographer, at the body building exhibitions. The "Farm," which Gedney photographed, was located in Norton Hill, N.Y. Gedney also photographed in Rochester, Albany, and Greenville, N.Y. Photographs of friends and family, as well of Gedney, are scattered throughout the collection. His notebooks and writings also document life in New York; some of them are titled "Myrtle Avenue."
Among Gedney's other American subjects are 100 composers who were photographed between 1965 and 1969. The composer series forms a significant body of work, although the photographs are scattered throughout the collection. A partial list of the composers is in the collection's Information Folder in the inventory drawer. The San Francisco photographic work, also a substantive series, focused on hippies and youth from 1966 to 1967. Another significant body of American work in the collection is Gedney's extensive photographic studies of rural Kentucky in 1964 and 1972. The Couch family in Leatherwood, Ky., and the Cornett family in Big Rock, Ky., were the central characters in his photography: The Kentucky works were created in the Blue Diamond Mining Co. camp, Grassy Branch Holler, Two Forks Holler, and in Hazard.
Gedney made one or two trips across the United States by car during the years 1965 to 1967. During the trip(s) he photographed "Night" scenes in various towns. He also photographed Indian reservations, a monastery, farm workers, and various cities. One of six photographers hired to document the work of the Social Security Administration in 1968, Gedney was assigned to the Hays, Kan., bureau. Kansas subjects include the Norton County Hospital, Hadley Hospital, Social Security client interviews, and Fort Hays College.
Gedney produced a large corpus of photographs of India. Indian subjects include wall paintings; ritual wrestlers; temple scenes and activities; bathing in the Ganges; festivals such as Holi; a Krishna festival; a monkey temple festival; Yantra and Shiva pujas; a wedding; street scenes; actors, acrobats, and other entertainers; artisans, such as painters, sculptors, and photographers; merchants and markets; and religious men. The Slides Series primarily includes the Indian wall paintings, which were created by the Kumbhar caste. The slides are the only color photographs in the collection. Other subjects or locations photographed by Gedney include England, Ireland, and Paris.
The Indexes Series consists of small prints attached to 5x7 cards or to 8.5x11 sheets that contain notes about the subject and printing specifications. They appear to have been created by Gedney to serve as references to his prints.
The Writings and Notebooks Series is a source for information about Gedney's interests; his personal reflections, including his thoughts about the subjects he was photographing; and technical information about his camera and darkroom procedures. Gedney copied quotes and kept clippings about subjects in which he was interested, and often photographing, in handmade notebooks. Different notebooks dating from the same period often complement each other, one giving a more diary-like account and the other more factual information.

Prints Series, 1950s-1987.

Contains photographic prints, the bulk of which are 11x14 inches. Gedney designated his prints in the following ways: Finished/archival prints, seconds, rejects, trial prints, and mounted. Some prints were not marked by Gedney and are referred to as undesignated. Boxes 64-65 are in chronological order. Boxes 66-67 contain undated mounted prints of the St. Joseph's School for the Deaf. Box 68 holds finished archival prints of various subjects arranged by contact sheet numbers and/or row numbers which Gedney had written on the backs of the prints. Boxes 69-70 contain seconds, rejects, trial prints, and undesignated prints of various subjects arranged by contact sheet numbers and/or row numbers which Gedney had written on the backs of the prints.
Boxes 71-72 contain prints in the "Farm" series. The "archival" prints are numbered by Gedney's later system that utilized contact sheet numbers and row numbers that refer to negatives. (Print F432A is also numbered in this system.) For the non-archival prints, the numbering system is not effective; see the contact sheets in Box 24 (the numbering system is not effective for searching these non-archival images.)
Boxes 73-85 are arranged in rough chronological order which coincides with Gedney's arrangement of numbered contact sheets. Boxes 86-92 are images of Benares and Calcutta, India. Gedney gave the Benares images two diffferent number series. The I series numbers refer to Row nos. on the Contact sheets. The B series refers directly to the Contact sheet numbers.
