- The photographs in the Lomax Collection were compiled in the course of the work of members of the Lomax family, including John Avery Lomax, his wife, Ruby Terrill Lomax, and his son Alan Lomax, to document folk music and folklore. The photographs not only depict performers and the settings in which they were recorded, but serve to illuminate the documentation effort itself. The information about John Avery Lomax and Ruby Terrill Lomax below provides further context for understanding the work of the Lomax family and the photographs that resulted from it.
