The Huntington Photographic
Archive of Asian Art
The John C. and Susan L. Huntington Photographic Archive of Asian Art represents over thirty-five years of field documentation photography by the Huntingtons. In 1986, the two History of Art professors at The Ohio State University formally expanded their photographic collection. Partnering with the History of Art department, the Huntingtons created an institutional archive to house images art from countries central to their personal research, as well as other areas of the Buddhist world. The Huntington Archive is devoted to providing pan-Asian documentation and resource materials for scholarly research and classroom teaching.

During the month of June 2009, The Huntington Archive began the process of developing a new web site to accompany our Digital Database Collection. While there are still sections of our old site being re-developed, including many of our Online Exhibitions, we are very pleased to roll out with our fresh new interface and organization just in time for Autumn quarter here at The Ohio State University.
For questions regarding this web site, or for other Huntington Archive inquiries, please e-mail the Huntington Archive Assistant to the Director at harchive@osu.edu

In August, our Director, Dr. Susan L. Huntington, along with her husband, Co-Founder and Principal Photographer Dr. John C. Huntington, and their son Eric Huntington, traveled to Bhutan, Darjeeling, and Sikkim where they spent a month traveling throughout the region in order to capture images of Buddhist art and architecture to add to our Digital Database Collection.
We expect to have these images added to our digital collection by the end of the callendar year. Until then, please visit this page view a few short video clips documenting some aspects of the culture of the region that was recorded by the Huntingtons during their recent trip.
