capa-spain-magnum-story.jpgThe entire collection of pictures amassed over more than half a century by the Magnum photo cooperative — Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson and friends — was driven by truck from New York City in December. The prints will now reside at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin for at least five years, to be digitized, studied and exhibited. The rights remain with the photographers. "It will be the first time that the archive...will be accessible to scholars and the public," says a New York Times story.
