Philadelphia Museum of Art. Check list of paintings... [prepared by Henry G. Gardiner], 1965

 File — Box: 2000
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series: While many of the titles in this subseries represent works devoted to the life and works of Thomas Eakins, a significant number are the catalogs or handbooks published by museums with holdings that include works by Eakins. In regard to the former, Goodrich acquired several of Gordon Hendrick's studies. From the numerous annotations made to one of his copies of Hendrick's 1974 work, Goodrich considered it a significant resource for his own studies. Another book heavily annotated is that by...

Philadelphia Museum of Art. Correspondence and misc. photos. Incl. letter of engagement, 1971, 1978, 1980 undated

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 7
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series: The first sub-subseries coincides primarily with d'Harnoncourt's curatorial tenure at PMA. The Art Institute of Chicago material is slightly earlier, when she worked there as an assistant curator. That documentation is minimal but includes a July 1971 letter from her AIC mentor, A. James Speyer. The letter mixes business with personal as Speyer comments on the young bride's recent wedding. Another letter written that same month and year, and included in the Philadelphia Museum of Art"...

 File — Box: 16, Folder: 7
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series: This subseries documents the many exhibitions dedicated to or including works by Thomas Eakins from 1917 to 1986. It includes primarily original, but also some photocopied extracts from, exhibition catalogs, checklists, and other ephemera, such as invitations to openings and previews. A small number of exhibitions featuring works inspired by Thomas Eakins, rather than by him, are also documented, as are a few exhibitions from World Fairs. Of particular note are the catalogs for exhibitions...

 File — Box: 3, Folder: 18
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series: This sub-subseries and the remaining ones replicate the arrangement by date span of d'Harnoncourt's PMA records that were created after 1996. All date spans, therefore, coincide with her dual role as PMA's director and CEO. Of note in this sub-subseries are the letters of congratulations sent to d'Harnoncourt upon her receipt of The Philadelphia Award, one of the city's most prestigious recognitions, and one bestowed nearly 50 years earlier to d'Harnoncourt's directorial predecessor at PMA,...
Dates: 1997-1999
