Slide collection development, 1928-1941, undated
Scope and Contents
Although sparse, these files suggest the development of the museum's slide collection of works of art. Most of the correspondence deals with requests from other institutions or outside lecturers for slide rentals. The remaining folders deal with the museum's development of its own slide collection and consist of staff-generated correspondence, printed material from various vendors, and outside proposals for cooperative slide projects.
