This image gallery
represents only a small subset of Archival holdings at the Archives --
Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. Only a small portion
of the collection has been digitized at the present time. The Archives
holdings include original documentation to further the study of the late
19th and early 20th century American art collected by Charles Lang Freer.
Materials in the Archives are rich and diverse, and include the personal
and professional papers of preeminent art historians, archaeologists,
artists, dealers, and collectors. Forming a treasure trove of raw material
for analysis are letters, writings and journals, scrapbooks, clippings,
drawings and sketchbooks, financial material, rubbings and squeezes of
inscriptions, photographs, oral history interviews, and motion picture
film. The collections include over 125,000 images, ranging from rare salt
prints of the 1850s to contemporary ilfochromes of the 1990s. Holdings
in the Archives amount to nearly 1,000 cubic feet, and are contained in
over 140 collections with materials that date from the early nineteenth
century to the present. Most collections are available for use by appointment
in the Archives reference room. |
