Books

Books complement the Center’s traveling exhibition program and showcase images from the Center’s archival collections. To accompany the Railroaders exhibition, the Center published a 200-page, hardbound catalogue that won national awards. In 2019, the Center produced After Promontory: 150 Years of Transcontinental Railroading in partnership with Indiana University Press. Other books focus on photographers whose work is in the archive, including monographs about Wallace W. Abbey, Donald W. Furler, David Kahler, and J. Parker Lamb. More recently, the Center has published about topics including the Burlington steam program and Rio Grande’s narrow gauge lines.
