Scope and Content Note
The series consists of Hinton's professional papers from 1958-2006 and includes correspondence, exhibition materials, promotional materials, contracts, and research material for projects on which Hinton worked. Hinton's career as a cinematographer is highlighted throughout his papers. Hinton served as cinematographer on films such as Greased Lightning, Don't Play Us Cheap, which was a comedic musical written and directed by Melvin Van Peebles, and Eye of Life by pioneer Nigerian director Francis Oladele. The papers also give insight into Hinton's collaborations, such as photographing Black Gulf Oil Service Station owners and working with Herbert Kohl to produce a book documenting early graffitt, Golden Boy as Anthony Cool. This series also documents Hinton's exhibitions and collaborations with The Hudson River Museum (Yonkers, New York), The Library of Congress (Washington, D.C.), and The High Museum (Atlanta, Georgia). The series also includes posters, photographs, and artwork collected by Hinton; clippings and printed material that feature Hinton's work; and a small amount of audiovisual material created and collected by Hinton.
