Bequest. Includes terms of the bequest and correspondence (originals of which are in the Fairmount Park Information Office) and an agreement between the Fairmount Park Information Office and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1926-1942

The "Administrative" subseries shows the regular administrative functions of the Rodin Museum. Included here are the copies of the original bequest, which is housed at the Fairmont Park Offices; Conservation and Centennial reports, minutes and reports of the Rodin Committee; and attendance records. Rodin Committee Minutes 1964-1968 are found in record group WIN series 1, Rodin Committee Minutes 1964-1976 are found in record group CHE series 1. Although, technically a part of this series, the Rodin Committee minutes which remain active are housed in the European Painting Department, and will be added to the records on an ongoing basis.

Note that a large gap in administrative records is reflected here between the years 1942-1965. Many of the records for that time period will be found in the records of Directors from that period, Fiske Kimball, director from 1925-1955, followed by Henri Marceau, 1955-1964, and Evan Hopkins Turner, 1964-1977.
