research project Burroughs X-ray documentation project, 1925 — 1944 1 hitsinvolved_persons: Alan Burroughs
The Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies at the Harvard Art Museums houses the Alan Burroughs Collection of X-Radiographs, the ﬁrst systematic, large-scale X-ray documentation project assembled to address issues of the authenticity and attribution of paintings. Many of the X-rays were produced between 1925 and 1944 by Burroughs—a Harvard graduate (1920) who became a Fogg Museum research fellow and the keeper of X-ray "shadowgraphs". Today the collection contains approximately 8,000 X-radiographs of over 4,450 paintings from the great collections of America and Europe.
The X-rays can also be found in the online database of the Harvard Art Museums: https://www.harvardartmuseums.org/collections?q=Rembrandt+burroughs
