A major archive of his work was housed at the International Center of Photography until 2018, when Vishniac's daughter, donated it to The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at the University of California, Berkeley.
He won international acclaim for his photos of shtetlach and Jewish ghettos, celebrity portraits, and microscopic biology. His book A Vanished World, published in 1983, made him famous and is one of the most detailed pictorial documentations of Jewish culture in Eastern Europe in the 1930s.Vishniac was also remembered for his humanism and respect for life, sentiments that can be seen in all aspects of his work.
