2001 marks the eleventh anniversary of the
Dorothea Lange - Paul Taylor documentary prize,
a $10,000 award given annually by the Center for
Documentary Studies. First announced a year
after the Center's founding at Duke University, the
prize was created to encourage collaboration
between documentary writers and photographers
in the tradition of the acclaimed photographer
Dorothea Lange and writer and social scientist
Paul Taylor. In 1941 Lange and Taylor published
American Exodus, a book that renders human
experience eloquently in text and images and
remains a seminal work in documentary studies.
The Center's Lange-Taylor Prize honors their
important collaborative work.
The Lange-Taylor Prize is offered to a
writer and a photographer in the early stages of a
documentary project. By encouraging such
collaborative efforts, the Center for Documentary
Studies supports the documentary process in
which writers and photographers work together to
record the human story.
