Correspondence, 1922-1973, undated
Scope and Contents
This subseries documents many of the routine curatorial activities of Marceau and Sweeny. Much of the correspondence is devoted to managing requests for photographs. Consistent with original order, material relating to photograph requests constitutes the entirety of the "Photograph requests" sub-subseries and is organized by date. Similar material can also be found throughout the "General" correspondence sub-subseries where it is arranged alphabetically. Correspondence with the Trustee of the Johnson Collection, the Pennsylvania Company, is located in the sub-subseries bearing that name.
