Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe first met in 1916 and they soon developed a personal and professional relationship that would last until Stieglitz's death in 1946. After his passing, O'Keeffe collected much of his personal and professional correspondence, scrapbooks, photographs, and other items from his career. In 1949, O'Keeffe decided to donate these items to the Yale University Library. Today, visitors can look through this glorious digital collection of these items, including photographs of and by Stieglitz and his circle of friends, along with paintings, drawings, letters, and various awards.

For anyone with an interest in American arts and letters, it is a most noble and worthy find.
