In December 2005, the collection was donated to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. At that time, the collection consisted of 6,500 images by 900 artists, with an estimated market value of $65 million. Since then, Davis has been the Senior Curator of Photography at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
