Artists & Contributors Call
As stewards of the Ray and Carolyn Hunt Family Archive, we are dedicated to identifying and connecting with those whose creative works have helped document Ray’s life and legacy.
Many of these treasures were shared with the family by hand over the years—given in the spirit of friendship or at the end of a long day in the arena. While the memory of the gift remains, the specific name of the photographer may have been lost to time. If you recognize a moment you captured, or remember who did, we would love to reunite the name with the photograph.

The Archive Audit
We are currently engaged in an audit of the Ray and Carolyn Hunt Family Archives. Over the decades, many photographs, writings, and artistic contributions were shared with the family in an informal era of history. Our goal today is to bring modern professional standards to these records.
We recognize that some images in our collection are currently listed as 'Attribution Unknown.' This is not a claim of ownership, but a placeholder as we work to identify the rightful creators.
