This endowment supports the archive of the late photographer Pirkle Jones and the late Ruth-Marion Baruch. The archive is housed in Special Collections and Archives at the UCSC library. Income from the endowment is used by the Head of Special Collections to preserve, organize, and make known and accessible to the faculty and students of UCSC and to the general public the unique contributions, both photographic and literary, of Pirkle Jones and Ruth-Marion Baruch.
