The Center for Railroad Photography & Art, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts and education organization, achieves its mission through exhibitions, conferences, and publications that spring from its core commitment to collect, preserve, and make widely available imagery that portrays the nearly 200-year history of railroads. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, the Center collaborates on its many projects with individuals and institutions ranging from museums and universities to libraries and historical societies, focusing on railroad imagery and the profound and moving stories it can tell.
