He was a new member in June of 1920, of the International Photographic Association. This information was published in Camera Craft Monthly Magazine. Camera Craft was an American magazine edited by the Camera Craft Publishing Co. in San Francisco. The International Photographic Association made its announcements on a few pages of each issue. In June of 1920 on page 210, U.A. Donati, #4766 is listed as a new member specializing in Indian studies, Indian pueblos, art, portraits, night pictures and draped and undraped figure studies. One of his photographs is in the collection at The Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the files at the Palace of the Governors state that he was located in Tucumcari, NM from 1912-1913. Donati took portrait photographs, but his consuming lifelong passion was documenting Native Americans of New Mexico, Arizona and throughout the Southwestern US in the early part of 20th century. Born in Italy, Donati was married and his Italian wife was skilled in the art of hand coloring / tinting photographs. The couple had three children all girls. The oldest, born in the USA was trained to assist in the studio at an early age. The second was born in the USA and then brought to Italy, a third daughter was born in Italy and left there to be raised by their paternal Grandmother. Donati traveled extensively for days and weeks at a time, photographing Native American tribes in New Mexico, Arizona and throughout the southwest and felt that his younger children would be better educated and well taken care of in Italy and so the two younger girls were left in Italy for their education and care. The oldest, girl who was raised to work in their photography studios to touch up and color the photos ran away from home at 17 and eventually worked and travelled for MGM Studios touching up and adding color to MGM films until her retirement.
