The Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor documentary prize is awarded by Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies to a writer and a photographer in the early stages of a documentary project. 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. The Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize Photography Collection, 1996-2005, houses the work of five documentary photographers - Mary Berridge, Rob Amberg, Jason Eskenazi, Jim Lommasson, and Dona Ann McAdams - consisting of 38 color and black-and-white prints created as part of documentary projects that were awarded the Lange-Taylor Prize. Topics includes boxing gyms; the effects of highway construction in the Appalachian mountains; HIV-positive women; the transition between traditional and modern life in mountain villages in the Causcasus; and living with schizophrenia, with images taken around Coney Island. Acquired as part of the Archive of Documentary Arts (Duke University).
