Materials include the correspondence and memoranda of curators Anne Castrodale Golovin and Rodris C. Roth; exhibition proposal, script, design plan, and installation layout; information pertaining to object loans, budget, publicity, publication, and exhibition opening; and photographs of the curators responsible for creating the exhibition.
