FLAAR Photo Archive
The FLAAR Photo Archive has invested over two million dollars to record the fragile pyramid-temple, palace, and other architectural remains of Maya structures as well as doing worldwide photography to rescue a pictorial record of Maya art and artifacts so that students and scholars will have a major research resource to advance knowledge of Classic Maya civilization of ancient Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, and Honduras.
FLAAR and the Photo Archive are pictured and described in www.maya-art-books.org and www.maya-archaeology.org. One of the three world wide FLAAR test centers (at the main university in Guatemala) is pictured on the current site, www.large-format-printers.org. The FLAAR Photo Archive appreciates the support of Calumet Photographic/Calumet Digital, BetterLight, NorthLight Products, Sinar Bron, Schneider-Kreuznach, Videssence, Lowel Lights, Ries Tripods, Bogen, MacBeth, BulbMan, Encad, EFI, Apple Computer, Rexam, American Ink Jet and a host of other corpoations who have provided equipment so that we in turn can donate professional photographic services to museums and archaeological projects in Central America.
