In 2006, the Getty Foundation awarded Martha G. Anderson (Alfred University), Lisa Aronson (Skidmore College), Christraud M. Geary (the Boston Museum of Fine Arts), and E. J. Alagoa (professor emeritus at the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria) a Getty Collaborative Research Grant to study the work of J.A. (Jonathan) Green. Green, a prolific Ibani (Bonny) Ijo photographer, worked in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria between about 1890 and 1925. Anderson, Aronson, and Geary have already conducted research on Green's work in British and American archives and libraries, and they, along with E. J. Alagoa, will spend several months conducting fieldwork in Nigeria in the fall of 2007. They plan to organize an exhibition of Green‘s work and publish their findings in the accompanying catalog.
