Any inquiries regarding the José Gómez Sicre Visual Archive are warmly welcomed.

Scholars, researchers, curators, and cultural institutions are invited to reach out with questions, research, and proposals. This archive represents a rare and irreplaceable body of primary materials, and I am committed to supporting thoughtful, rigorous, and respectful engagement with its contents.

Because the archive is privately held and preserved as a working research collection, access is available by appointment only. It is not open to the public. Requests for on-site consultation, viewing of specific materials, or image permissions should be submitted through the contact form below. Once received, I will review your inquiry and follow up to discuss availability, research needs, and next steps.

To protect the integrity of this archive and the legacy it preserves, I ask that visitors do not download, capture, or reproduce any images or materials from this website for use in personal “digital archives,” online repositories, or any other form of redistribution. All visual and written materials presented here are part of a protected research collection and may not be copied, stored, or republished without prior written permission. Unauthorized extraction of images—whether for personal projects, social media, or informal digital collections—compromises both the legal protections and the historical accuracy of the archive. Your respect for these boundaries helps ensure that the materials remain preserved, contextualized, and responsibly interpreted.

I ask that all researchers approach the archive with respect for its provenance, its legal protections, and the legacy it represents.

Whether you are beginning a new project, seeking clarification on historical materials, or exploring potential collaborations, I welcome your interest. Your engagement helps ensure that the history of Cuban and Latin American modernism continues to be studied with accuracy, care, and integrity.
