Most of us know the importance of viewing original prints. I'd like to suggest a "stickied"list of permanent collections where some of the greats may be seen. E.g., Strand archive across the street from the Phila. Museum of Art, by appointment; a research aide needs to bring out what you want to look at from the unframed, mostly unmounted prints. His negs are reportedly not accessible; locked up in a vault in Connecticut.

High Museum in Atlanta has some original Adams, Weston, and other notables in their permanent collection but not always on view. They also have the temporary traveling exhibits of the masters at least once every couple of years, but they always seem to have a photography exhibit on display. Second Sunday of the month is free to visit
I would add, examples of gear used
Preferably in usable condition with holders, OE film, tripod...
Museum Grade cameras are usually garbage
Virtual is not proving longevity
Objects!

Library of Congress. Huge collection, easy access, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
