Between 1986 and 1991, my work in Central Europe and Russia was made possible by a series of generous travel grants from the Soros Foundation, New York. My early work on East German photography, and a first verion of the essay that accompanies this catalogue, were presented at the College Art Association (CAA) national conference in 1993, in a panel moderated by Vicki Goldberg. More recently, work on Recollecting a Culture was supported by a generous Creation and Presentation grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and by funding from the Goethe Institute, Boston. The exhibition and accompanying publication of Recollecting a Culture were made possible through the cooperation of the Staatliche Galerie Moritzburg Halle.

Recollecting a Culture is an exhibition of The Photographic Resource Center (PRC) at Boston University, which receives support for its programs from the NEA, the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), the generosity of its board of directors and its members, and other private and public donors.
