Edward Curtis and the copper plates have been the subject of multiple documentary films over the past three decades. CurtisCamp has also produced its own short videos about the project and the plates.

The Curtis Collection

The complete story of the Curtis Copper Photogravure Plates — from Edward Curtis in the field to the plates in the Camp Keeper's hands. History, narration, and detailed plate-and-print comparisons that show why the plate is the greater asset.

Plates from this collection appeared in Coming to Light, Anne Makepeace's PBS American Masters documentary on Curtis (2001). The Camp Keeper's hands appear in the film.
