The Center for Railroad Photography & Art, in Madison, Wisconsin, was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in Wisconsin on December 9, 1997, to inform “the public about railroad photography and art through education, research and public service programs.” The Center was fostered by John Gruber (1936-2018), a writer with a lifelong interest in railroads and their history who'd had the hobby of photographing railroads since 1960. The Railway and Locomotive History Society honored Gruber in 1994 with a lifetime achievement award in railroad photography. While the Center selectively collects high-quality photographs and works of art related to railroading and railroad workers, it has no museum, but rather collaborates with archives and public museums in creating programs with a national outreach. These programs include exhibitions, publications, conferences, a website, and an Internet archive (railroadheritage.org).
