Founded in 2013, the Myanmar Photo Archive is a physical archive of photographic materials from Myanmar. The materials range from studio portraiture, private photo albums, official photography, company records, scientific research photography, documentary images as well as studio accessories, slides and negatives. The archive aims to create a comprehensive record of photographic materials and culture and provide historic context to the materials within the archive. Currently, the earliest images are from 1890 and range until the present decade. The MPA has created exhibitions, workshops and a large publication program through-out the years. The books are available locally through the Yangon Book Plaza and internationally through Fraglich Publishing.
