Administrative History
The Getty Center opened in 1997 as a multifaceted campus located in Brentwood, California, including modern architecture,
gardens, and fountains. The Getty Center is owned and operated by the J. Paul Getty Trust, a cultural and philanthropic organization.
The Trust is a not-for-profit institution, educational in purpose and character, that focuses on the visual arts in all of
their dimensions. The Center is home to the Trust and its four programs: the Getty Foundation, the Getty Research Institute,
the Getty Conservation Institute, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. The Museum and the Conservation Institute also maintain operations
at the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, the original site of the Museum.
The decision to build the Getty Center was a defining moment in the history of the J. Paul Getty Trust. The reasons for that
decision were both practical and philosophical. Originally established in 1953, the Trust was the result of J. Paul Getty's
desire to open a "small, private museum" in the house he had purchased, which was nestled in the hills near Malibu, California
overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The museum opened in 1954 and in 1968 Mr. Getty decided to build a Roman style villa to house
his growing collection of art work. The new J. Paul Getty Museum, otherwise known as the Getty Villa, opened six years later.
When most of Mr. Getty's personal estate passed to the Trust in 1982, the Trustees decided that, given the size of the endowment,
it should make a greater contribution to the visual arts and humanities than the museum could alone. A proposal was formulated
that, in addition to an expanded museum, called for a group of independent but related programs devoted to scholarship, conservation,
and education. The original programs, some of which have since dissolved or evolved into other entities, were the Getty Center
for the History of Art and the Humanities (now the Getty Research Institute), the Getty Conservation Institute, the Getty
Center for Education in the Arts, the Getty Art History Information Program, and the Getty Grant Program (now the Getty Foundation).
Due to a lack of space at the original J. Paul Getty Museum site the Trust and its program offices were originally scattered
throughout the Los Angeles basin.
It soon became clear that these new programs, along with the expansion of the Museum's collections, required a larger and
more unified main campus facility to accommodate what the Trust envisioned for its extended mission. Expanding the Villa site
for this purpose was impossible. A roughly 750-acre property in Brentwood (in west Los Angeles) was purchased by the Trust
in 1983 and the following year Richard Meier & Partners was chosen to design the Getty Center, which would house the Trust,
its newly created programs, and an additional space for the Museum. In 1984 Steve Rountree was appointed Director of the Trust's
Getty Center Building Program, which included responsibility for all aspects of the project development, design, and construction
of the Getty Center campus in Brentwood. After three years of design, discussions, and approvals, construction began in 1987
under the guidance of the Dinwiddie Construction Company (which had also built the Getty Villa in the early 1970s). A decade
later, and forty-three years after the original J. Paul Getty Museum had opened in Mr. Getty's Ranch House, the Getty Center
officially opened to the public on December 17, 1997.

Series I.B.
Dinwiddie Construction Company (DcCO) images,
1990-1997
Physical Description:
26.08 linear feet
(29 boxes)
Scope and Content Note
Records comprise photographic prints, slides, and negatives, dating 1990-1997, of the Getty Center construction site provided
by Dinwiddie Construction Company (DcCO). These aerial and ground views of the site were likely used to provide the J. Paul
Getty Trust with photographic documentation of the construction progress. Select images may be attributed to George Savery
while the majority of the aerial shots were taken by Warren Aerial Photography, Inc.
It is unclear whether images contained within "Construction progress negatives" and "Site view slides" are duplicates.
Arrangement note
Materials are primarily arranged by format: prints, slides, and negatives. Within each format materials are generally arranged
chronologically.
Construction progress negatives,
May 1991-October 1997
Scope and Content Note
Records comprise photographic negatives documenting the construction progress of the Getty Center. While there appear to be
a selection of ground views, the majority of images are aerial photographs.
