The Photographic Heritage Association/Photo Archives Belong in Rochester (PHA/PABIR), a grassroots citizen's action committee, was organized after the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography (GEH/IMP) decided to offer its 500,000-photographic item collection to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History due to a continuing budget deficit. Their goal was to keep the photographic collections in Rochester. The records document both the PHA/PABIR's efforts to organize, fundraise, and finance their organization and comprise administrative records, resource files, correspondence, fundraising, financial documents, newsletters, and newspaper clippings.
