The Center for Railroad Photography & Art has become America's foremost organization for interpreting the intersection of railroad art and culture with America's history and culture. We have achieved that status through successful publications (especially our journal, Railroad Heritage®), exhibitions, conferences, and an online web portal (railroadheritage.org) that features the best of railroad photography and art coupled with descriptive summaries that enhance understanding of railroad history, technology, and artistry.The Center, founded in 1997, works with photographers, writers, and historians across the country to achieve its goals, although its home is in Madison, Wisconsin. Since we do not maintain a museum space but collaborate with other institutions, we use the majority of our resources for creative programs, not for maintenance and salaries.Since the beginning, the Center's goal has been to offer high quality public programs associated with photography and art works in all media. Our mission was stated in Railroad Heritage No. 1, 2000: "Through the preservation and presentation of art and photography, the Center offers a new and unprecedented view of the railroad's influence on American culture."Our website, www.railphoto-art.org, vigorously supports all of the Center's programs, and makes significant contributions to the visual record of railroading through its galleries and expanding presence. Our next years promise to make an even greater impression on the visual heritage of railroading, carrying the story of railroads' importance and heritage to ever-widening audiences in the age of digital expansion.The Center, incorporated in 1997 as a nonprofit Wisconsin organization, has received 501(c)3 status from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Center's quarterly journal, Railroad Heritage, is mailed to donors of $50 or more a year. Send gifts to 313 Price Place, Suite 13, Madison, WI 53705-3262
