Daniel Davis became the photograph curator in Special Collections & Archives in 2000. He received tenure in 2006 and became coordinator of instruction in 2014. He is the author or co-author for two books about 20th Century Western photographers. In 2019 he went on sabbatical taking a “deep dive” into primary source literacy and creating a lesson plan for teaching with historic images. He has taught semester-length classes on archival management, mentored individual students, and taught single-class sessions to a wide range of students from fourth graders to Ph.D. candidates.
