"Competition for a Sculptured Monument to Thomas Jefferson. Prospectus." Ms, corrected, undated

Kimball served on the Committee on Sculpture which was charged with selecting a sculptor to complete a monumental bronze statue of Jefferson for the center of the marble rotunda. As such, Kimball and the committee developed a prospectus for the competition, selected finalists, and in October 1941, awarded Rudolph Evans the commission. Kimball was also concerned with the casting and installation of the central figure which was delayed until 1947 because of a war shortage of metals, and with the ancillary sculpture, inscriptions and pedestals. The records include contracts, correspondence, ephemera, and photographs, including those of models submitted by contenders. Additional information about the inscriptions can be found in the "Administrative files" subseries.
