About Me

Rob Tucher founded Rob Tucher Photographic Documentation in 1979. He has built a huge collection of archival black and white large-format images of historic structures and landscapes while recording hundreds of subjects ranging from the White House to the Naval Hospital, Philadelphia, from the USS Nautilus submarine to the North and South Bergen Railroad Tunnels and Vent Shafts in Jersey City, New Jersey, and from view sheds in the Monument Corridor in Washington, DC to the Casa Malpais catacombs and rock art in Springerville, Arizona. All assignments adhere to the exacting standards of the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), and the Historic American Landscape Survey (HALS) respectively. His work recording historic structures has taken him from Maine to southern California, Florida to the State of Washington, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii.

Much of his work has been directed to the Prints and Photographs Division (Architecture, Design, and Engineering Collections) of the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.  In addition, Rob has completed hundreds of documents to HABS/HAER/HALS Standards of every conceivable type of historic structure for state-level repositories.  He applies this considerable experience in classical architecture and engineering, coupled with a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University, a Certificate in Historic Preservation (Drew University, 1999, Madison, New Jersey), to all photographic assignments.  The photographer meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards (48 FR 44716, Sept. 1983) for Historic Architecture and has years of experience working as an architectural historian.
